Our Story: Miriam Heftzei Chen Ltd. – A Family Tradition of Shofar Craftsmanship

For over half a century, Miriam Heftzei Chen Ltd. has been shaping the sound of tradition. Located in the heart of Jerusalem at 47 Raban Yuhanan Ben Zakay Street, our company has become a symbol of authenticity, craftsmanship, and dedication to the ancient art of shofar making.

Dudu Saar

A Legacy Born in the Old City

Our story begins with Dudu, the heart and soul of our operation. Born and raised in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, Dudu grew up surrounded by the sounds of prayer, history, and the resonating calls of the shofar echoing through the stone alleyways during the High Holidays.

As a young boy, Dudu learned the secrets of shofar crafting from his father and grandfather. With each generation, the skills were passed down, refined, and preserved — not in a textbook, but in the workshop behind their modest home, where raw horns were transformed into instruments of spiritual power.

A Family Business With a Global Reach

Today, the business is still proudly family-owned and operated. Dudu continues to work alongside his children, instilling in them the same values of integrity, patience, and devotion that have kept the company thriving for decades.

While our roots are deeply planted in Jerusalem, our reach extends across the globe. We sell our handcrafted shofars throughout Israel, the United States, Europe, Brazil, Mexico, Singapore, and beyond. From synagogues and churches to collectors and spiritual seekers, our clients come from all walks of life, united by a shared reverence for this sacred sound.

Every Shofar Has a Soul

Each shofar that leaves our workshop is more than a product — it is a work of devotion. We carefully select the finest ram's horns, shape them using traditional tools, polish them by hand, and ensure that each one meets our rigorous quality and sound standards. No two shofars are alike. Each carries its own tone, form, and spiritual energy.

We believe that the sound of the shofar connects heaven and earth. It awakens memory, calls for change, and echoes the soul’s deepest cry. That’s why we treat each piece with the care and reverence it deserves.
