- Q. As I often daven (pray) at a new freshly established shul that provides for many minyanim. I find that the person who is chosen for the blowing of the shofar, is not yet trained, and has difficulty in making it sound properly. Does one then comply?
A. As we mentioned above that since the blowing of the Shofar during Elul is generally accepted as only a Minhag (tradition) and not as an obligatory mitzva, therefore Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that after the fact, any sound is accepted, when no one else can do immediately better.
