The Israel-Hamas war has caused a shortage of shofars, a traditional Jewish instrument, due to shipping delays and increased costs. Jan-Elazar Refoua, a shofar seller in Jerusalem, has struggled to ensure he has enough shofars for his customers. The war has decimated tourism and disrupted shipping routes, leading to delays and higher prices for shofarot. While Refoua's business has been impacted, he remains optimistic and believes that Israel will emerge stronger from the conflict.
