B’h it’s ellul zman. 2 yrs ago I bought a shofar, b’h it’s been piping notes in the past 2years, however this year no hard I try I can’t seem to blow it. No sound comes from it. Is it mamish min hashomayim that it doesn’t work in ellul
That reminds me of a story I used to tell my kids, based on K’ton-ton (anyone remember him?). He was curious during davening, climbed up on the bima to inspect the shofar and fell in. Fell asleep while waiting to be rescued. Ba’al Tokeia could not blow, until he “cleaned out” the sleeping K’ton-ton.
