History

Historical Context

Television’s occasional shofar segments trace back to the biblical command to sound the horn on Rosh Hashanah, traditionally delivering 100 blasts each day. After an Orthodox court revived a Shabbat shofar on the holiday in 2006, U.S. networks began featuring the ritual, linking ancient practice to modern celebrity broadcasts and audience interest.
