Contrary to what some may think, we actually do have Satan in Judaism. He's just less of an all-powerful king of Hell and adversary to G-d (because to suggest anyone can be an adversary to G-d is heretical), and more if Saul Goodman was prosecuting you as a lawyer and could be fooled into missing his court date if you blew a horn outside his house every day of the month except the day before the court date and confused him.

The Shofar Breaks Your Heart
by Dane Kuttler
When you give a girl a shofar –  no, not a proper instrument of G-d, but a rough-cut horn with no real mouthpiece her aunt brings back from a trip to Jerusalem, don’t make it easy.
Put it up on the shelf in the living room where its curled promise of a shout will tempt her until she can reach it on tiptoe.
Tell her no one has ever found its voice, that she will only make it grunt, bray and sputter like the animal it came from.
Then give her a few years.
Give her an empty garage and a neighborhood Jewish enough to understand what it’s hearing so she can practice until tiny tekiot burst forth from the scrap of ram.
She will be the only one who can ever shape its sounds, can bend the call to tekiah, round off nine drops of t’ruah wailing, fling the anguished cry of a sh’varim from its mouth.
Let her brag about this.  Remember that children are not humble creatures, that the simple act of being heard is their great triumph.  Let her be heard.
Bring her to Hebrew school. Teach her the story of the rabbi who told his students that he would put the words of Torah on their hearts; that the words would only find their way in when the students’ hearts broke. Let her sit with that tale for as long as it takes for her own heart to shatter, for torah and poetry and forgiveness  find their way inside,
play her Leonard Cohen. Let him croon about the cracks in everything, that’s how the light gets in, let her begin searching for light, ask her where she thinks the cracks come from, give her Auschwitz, give her Torquemada, give her pogrom and quota and blacklist, the ashes of all her burnt bridges, give her avinu malkenu, ashamnu, ashamnu, ashamnu, 
watch her break  her heart with her fist.
Give her the shofar.   Let the horn steal her breath, let her begin to understand that she’s not holding a dead piece of animal, but a living prayer.
Teach her: after every blast you can hear the echo of the still small voice.
If you listen for it, you can hear the calls for the wild cries they are; salute them with a straight back when they yank you from your amidah; and should you hear a shofar blower struggle and gasp and strain for each call, imagine yourself a trapped animal, desperate to be heard.
When it’s over, Close your eyes.
Be. Broken. Here.  Before G-d and your people. Be. Cracked.
feel the light and the words come in.

happy new year! do you have any shofar facts?
Shana Tovah!
Not even a fake fact but likely funnier, when I was in the bathroom at the synagogue once as a kid on a Shabbat near Rosh Hashanah I farted for like a whole minute and from the next stall I heard the actual Hazzan of the place shout "Tekiah Gedolah!!!"
(For those not familiar, this is the call for the longest, loudest shofar horn blast on the holiday)

All I remember is there were parachuting, shofar-playing chickens involved.

So, like, I'd be reblogging everything about why you shouldn't be playing the wizarding game anyway, even if it was otherwise completely unobjectionable, because 1) JKR believes that people agree with her bc they still buy HP stuff, and 2) the money she makes off of HP stuff goes towards right-wing transphobic organizations. So it's bad anyway.
But the game is, without exaggeration, Blood Libel the Game. It's blatantly anti-Semitic. It's not subtly so, and you don't have to really look closely to see it. It's really like someone was like, "Well, we know the goblins are Jewish stereotype stand-ins within the HP universe, so let's make a whole game where they're the bad guys. After all, look at this list of anti-Semitic stereotypes I found on Wikipedia, it's practically a roadmap. Maybe we can even stuff an important religious object with something treyf as a joke!"
I know most of my followers and friends are on the same page as I am, and I'm grateful and appreciative. But the rest of y'all, who are either on the fence or feel like maybe we're being ~* t o o s e n s i t i v e *~ or whatever--
No. You can either be a conscientious ally or you can play a game that's so offensively anti-Jew it should be removed from stores. Pick one, but you can't have both.
"I'm not gonna play it, but I think you're overreacting--" NOPE try again. They stuffed a shofar with cheese as a joke. What the fuck am I supposed to feel about that besides incandescent rage?

Yitzchak and the Ram: Fates Exchanged
During the month of Elul and on Rosh HaShanah, we blow the shofar, which is commonly in the form of a ram's horn. One of the reasons we do this is to remind Hashem of how Yitzchak was almost sacrificed, but an angel intervened and Yitzchak was exchanged with a ram, and to convince Hashem to intervene on our behalf and cancel any harmful decree against us for the upcoming year.

I heard a shofar for the first time tonight and it sounded just like a parasaurolophus call. My autism was twinged in ways that I never imagined were possible. (Further confirmation that dinosaurs are Jewish, perhaps? 🤔)
I still daydream about making a Parasaurolophus Shofar :o

The men at work are having a shofar measuring contest. This is not a euphemism. Happy Elul.

Joseph Glantz, 89, shows Cub Scouts Gary Sereno (left) and Alan Gershon the way to blow a shofar, September 2, 1953. The Cub Scouts, from the Educational Alliance, visited the Home of Old Israel to receive pre-holiday instructions in the sacred rituals of Rosh Hashanah (New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement).
