Important Point for a Ba’al Tokea – How to Blow Shofar Properly

Sh’vorim-t’rua
1) In the main shofar blowing – before musaf – in the sequence of t’keeya-sh’vorim-t’rua-t’keeya, the sh’vorim-t’rua should be blown in a single breath. The same applies when one blows to enable someone else to fulfill the mitzva (such as at home for family members, or on mivtza’im).However the shofar which is blown by mussaf is done with a breath in between the sh’vorim-t’rua.
