Description

Why do we link our shofar of Rosh HaShanah with the cries of the brutal mother of Canaanite General Sisera? [I chose not to include Rav Soloveitchik's idea found in MiPninei haRav pg. 158, which I am told is also in Before Hashem You Will Be Purified pg. 10, but it may be relevant here as well.]
