The Shofar Man was birthed during a trip to Israel
in 1996. This occurred when Jim and Carla Barbarossa visited
the Holy Land. While Jim and Carla were shopping in the City
of Jerusalem, they heard a Shofar Sound and Jim purchased a Giant
Yemenite Shofar to bring home. To Jim's surprise, G-d spoke to
him to blow the Shofar as He would lead him. In October 1996,
Carla had a dream that she was pregnant, and Jim was taking her to
the hospital in a small car. Jim reached under the seat and
pulled out a Jumbo Yemenite Shofar and said, "I will blow this
during the birthing process. During that same month, Jim and
Carla went to Africa with the Shofar in hand. Jim blew the
Shofar as G-d directed, and deliverances, healings, and miracles
followed. Since then, Jim has been Shofar blowing and
teaching nationally and internationally on the Ancient Hebrew
Instrument of Praise, Worship, and Warfare the Jewish Shofar.
During these teachings, Jim was tagged with the nickname "The Shofar
Man."

The following are a couple of scripture references
found in the book about the Shofar:
"And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets;
and they shall be to you for an ordinance forever throughout your
generations.
And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth
you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be
remembered before the L-rd your G-d; and ye shall be saved from your
enemies." (Numbers 10:8-9)
"And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed
louder and louder, Moses spake, and G-d answered him by a voice."
(Exodus 19:19)
