Question
During the shofar blowing, there was a child outside the synagogue playing with a shofar and making different sounds, but I was able to hear the shofar of the blower. Did I fulfill my obligation?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
In most commandments, the rule is 'two voices are not heard', meaning a person cannot hear two sounds together and certainly did not hear them well. However, in the case of shofar blowing, it is said that due to the beloved nature of the commandment, which occurs once a year, the listener certainly concentrated and heard the shofar properly.
