    A shofar can not be made from the horn of one specific animal for good reason. What is this animal and what is the good reason?

    Question #109544. Asked by star_gazer. (Oct 07 09 8:32 PM)

    		The shofar itself should be from the horn of a ram, because it was a ram that was offered as a sacrifice in the place of Isaac when his father Abraham bound him up on an altar. This recalls the merit of our forefathers. The horns of other similar animals can be used, but not the horn of a cow, since the horn of a cow is dissimilar to that of a ram.

    Cow horns are not permitted, as a cow was depicted by the Golden Calf.
