- My Rabbi approved the following post:
- https://wp.yise.org/shofar/
- which includes some basic Halachos and a short video by Craig Simon. Craig blew all over the neighborhood today (as did others - there were more than 40 "not during Davening" shofar blowings in the neighborhood!), including around the corner from me (very convenient for my family that didn't get to Shul). Key points matching your questions:
- * Tekiah for Teruah or Shevarim equivalent to 9 Teruah sounds, ~ 1.5 seconds
* Tekiah for Shevarim-Truah equivalent to double that, ~ 3 seconds- * No maximum Tekiah
- * Shevarim should be the length of 3 Teruah sounds, not longer.
- * Teruah can be more than 9 sounds.
- What I have heard regarding "breathe/can't breathe" is whether to take a breath between Shevarim and Teruah of Shevarim-Teruah. I have heard different opinions on that - if I remember correctly the distinction is sometimes made between the Shofar blasts before Mussaf (1st 30) and during Mussaf (3 groups of 10).
