They show that every soul is unique in thought, yet equal in its longing for G-d. Words express our differences. Music reaches deeper.

What Does the Shofar's One Sound Say?

But the shofar?

It’s the voice we all share.

One sound that says:

“I could praise You forever… and still not begin.”

What Is the Deepest Kind of Praise?

The deepest praise is admitting:

He is ultimately unknowable.

What Is the Paradox of Knowing G-d?

And here’s a paradox:

The moment we realize we cannot truly “know” Him, awe awakens. The more awe we feel, the closer we actually come to knowing Him through emotion. It reveals unity. That’s awe. That’s the shofar.

Questions people ask

What do King David's Psalms show about every soul?

The Psalms show that every soul is unique in thought, yet equal in its longing for G-d. People express themselves with different words, and music reaches deeper than words. Underneath our differences, the longing for G-d is the same for everyone.

Why is the shofar called the voice we all share?

Words express our differences, and music reaches deeper. But the shofar is the voice we all share. It is one sound that says, “I could praise You forever… and still not begin.” The article says awe reveals unity, and calls that the shofar.

Is admitting we cannot know G-d a form of praise?

Yes. The article says the deepest praise is admitting that He is ultimately unknowable. We could praise Him forever and still not begin. Noticing that honestly is a skill of awareness, and it is exactly what the shofar's one sound says for all of us.

How can feeling awe bring us closer to G-d?

The article describes a paradox. The moment we realize we cannot truly “know” Him, awe awakens. The more awe we feel, the closer we actually come to knowing Him through emotion. That awe reveals unity. Closeness grows through feeling, not through figuring Him out.
