A shofar believed to have been hidden in a German beer cellar during World War II was discovered in Haifa. The 200-year-old shofar was recently found in the warehouse of Haifa’s Gordon College, whose former deputy director had served as a rabbi with Allied forces fighting the Nazis, Ma’ariv reported Wednesday.
According to the newspaper, the rabbi, Yaacov Lifschitz-Gil, found the shofar during postwar searches of Munich beer cellars that had been frequented by Hitler.
The shofar has been donated to Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial.
