Tonight and for the next two days Jews Celebrate the New Year or Rosh Hashanah.
It is customary to blow a rams horn, their are many reasons for this, one of the best is that it reminds us of the ram that Abraham slaughtered instead of sacrificing his son Isaac. This symbol of sacrifice is an important one for Judaism.
We know that it is likely that the ram spoken of was a male Ibex, like the Ibex pictured above.
Shanah Tova (Happy New Year)!
