In our time, there's great immediacy and momentum to the direct notion that we still stand there, listening to the shofar, like the people stood in the desert millennia ago.
One people, before they entered the Land of Israel, peacefully as it turns out, as immigrants, not conquerors, over many generations. There, in the Land, they joined the tribes.
Listening to the shofar worldwide as a people connects us with them. We're still back there. The shofar's different motives functioned like a Morse code, providing essential information. We probably invented such coded communication.African drums, another such code, appeared hundreds of years later.
Lastly, speaking of words, it has become known not too long ago that the alphabet was invented by a slave working the Timna mines.
How beautiful, it gives hope.
