Isaiah 18:3 (The Israel Bible™)   כָּל יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל וְשֹׁכְנֵי אָרֶץ כִּנְשֹׂא נֵס הָרִים תִּרְאוּ וְכִתְקֹעַ שׁוֹפָר תִּשְׁמָעוּ ישעיהו יח:ג kol yosh-vay tay-vayl v'shokh-nay a-retz ki-n'so-a nays ha-reem tir-u v'khit-ko-a sho-far tish-ma-u Jerusalem Inspiration Here is an incredible lesson from the holy language of Hebrew. The word "shofar" comes from the word לשפר - l'-sha-fayr - which means "to improve." The sound of the shofar awakens us to beautify our deeds as we strive to improve ourselves.  With the close of each precious holiday, we reflect on our observance of the various laws, and, in good faith, feel confident that with love and care we have used the holiday for the improvement and betterment of ourselves. There's no better path to improvement then vigorous study of the holy Bible!
