The Davidson Publishing logo includes a photo taken by Fae-th of a shofar which she and Trapper brought back from Jerusalem in 2011.  In their luggage they had 10 more of the smaller ones as gifts for others.  At the same time they hand carried two longer ones that would not fit in a suitcase which resulted in some interesting moments at Israeli Customs in Tel Aviv, on the airplanes from Tel Aviv and London and at U.S. Customs in Denver.

A shofar is a ram's horn trumpet like the ones described multiple times in Scripture.  In fact, almost every time a trumpet is mentioned in Scripture, it is a reference to a shofar although there are some silver trumpets mentioned at times.  The sounding of the shofar has several different tones and variations with many meanings associated with them.  Some of the meanings are to signal the coming of the King, to welcome His presence and to thank Him for His Spirit being among us when He is already there. 

Just as the shofar proclaims His presence in our lives, Davidson Publishing publications are meant to display His presence and encourage each reader to look for signs of His presence in their own lives on a constant basis in their belief that He is available with open arms desiring to enjoy fellowship with each one of us.  He is a master of symbolism and all can discover that He surrounds us with it as a means of showing His face to us – if we will simply look for it.  This observation is sometimes written outright and sometimes implied in all of their publications.

The Davidsons see the symbolic revelation in their last name of the Son of David.  They refer to HaShem's (God's) Son by His Aramaic name of Yeshua – the name that HaShem told his Earthly father, Yosef, to name Him when He was born and that He was known by in Israel when He came to Earth over 2,000 years ago.  With adamant enthusiasm for HaShem's symbolism, calling Him by His full Aramaic title of Yeshua HaMaschiach (which means Salvation, The Messiah)  is a rich proclamation of His identity and has great meaning for all who have ears to hear and eyes to see this symbolism.  He lives in the hearts of all who have faith in Him to this day and The Davidsons sound a shofar to proclaim His glory and presence on every possible occasion.

They have just such an occasion at 9:00 every Shabbat (Sabbath) Saturday morning in their home – when they sound the shofar and welcome a gathering of Messianic Jewish and Messianic Gentile Believers in Yeshua HaMashiach called...of all appropriate things-------------------------->

A highlight of each Shofar Sounding is when their Basset Hounds (Crockett & Liberty) see Fae pick up the shofar, run to their chosen places, sit down, raise their noses into the air and howl until they get on the same note as the shofar.  They weren't trained outright to do that.  They just decided to join in on their just-weaned first day of residence with Trapper & Fae in January of 2021 and have been truly "reveling" (as in a bugle sounding Reveille) in that expression ever since.

At Shofar Fellowship we also joyfully celebrate all of the Jewish Feasts at their appointed times during the year:

    Spring Feasts

            Purim

            Pesach (Passover) - also includes Feast of Unleavened Bread & Feast of First Fruits

            Shavuot (Feast of Weeks)

    Fall  & Winter Feasts

            Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets)

            Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles)

            Chanukkah
At every celebration the emphasis is on worship of HaShem, Yeshua HaMashiach and their Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), sharing the incredible amount of symbolism of Yeshua in each Feast and sharing delightful fellowship together.  There's always good food and music plus LOTS of props as visual aids to the teachings.

Attendance is by invitation only.  If you desire to attend, please call in advance.   We'll discuss the particulars of the next event with you. 

Shofar Fellowship is shared at our home in Gunnison.
