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!
