What is up with all of the Christians blowing the shofar these days at every chance they get? It seems like every Christian bookstore is selling them now.

It seems to be symptomatic of the current obsession that some churches have with all things Jewish and their typically loose understanding and application of such things.

what are you all talking about, what is a shofar?
There's something in the makeup of humanity that loves symbols and traditions; to see, smell, touch, taste, and hear worship. Modern protestantism has, for the most part, ditched it's own traditions, and people are feeling the lack. Judaism seems a reasonable place to go, both because most of their traditions were directly ordered by God, and because they're not Catholic (sad, but true reason). Sometimes when a tradition is old enough to be nearly forgotten, it manages to come back as though it were a new thing, and not a tradition at all.What is up with all of the Christians blowing the shofar these days at every chance they get?

My old church bought a shofar back in 2001 or so. The pastor called for it to be blown whenever he was about to do a "home run" sermon (which, most of his tried to be). I thought it was nothing more than a tool to get people whipped up into the spirit (this was a Church of God (Cleveland, TN) church).
