The Shofar Man teaches in conferences around the world, and two questions that come up at almost every conference are, “Why do Shofars have an offensive odor?” and, “What can I do about it?
Keep in mind that the people that ask these Shofar questions are from all over the world and have bought their Shofars from many different distributors, dealers, and manufacturers. After hearing these questions so many times and personally testing and inspecting hundreds of Shofars from all over the world produced by the best Shofar manufacturers of Jewish Kosher Shofars, I have come to the conclusion that all Shofars have an odor to them and it is just the nature of A Shofar. We must remember we are dealing with a horn off of an animal. This Shofar horn is full of flesh and blood before it is made into an instrument of praise, worship, and warfare called a Shofar. Over the years, I have heard and tried many methods of removing the smell of the Shofar. Here are a few: 1 – Vinegar & Water, 2 – Alcohol & Water, 3 – Chlorine & Water, 4 – Borax Soap, 5 – Different Soaps, 6 – Odor Eliminators, 7 – Filling the Shofar with light gravel & shaking it back and forth to loosen the decaying flesh.
