As we enter 5785, Studio Razbash wishes you a happy, healthy, sweet, and peaceful new year filled with opportunity, connection, and transformation. The great sound of the Shofar, a key symbol and instrument in Jewish tradition, reverberates with a call to awaken—not only to our spiritual selves but to the world around us. This ancient sound carries profound meaning: a spiritual reset, urging us to respond to the cries of the world and turn our attention to renewal, growth, and intentional action.


The Shofar, traditionally crafted from the horn of a ram or kudu, holds deep cultural and historical significance in Judaism. Its construction is an art form—transforming a natural, hollow material into a vessel of sound, much like we transform ideas into spaces that resonate. Every detail, from its form to its acoustics, contributes to the unmistakable call of the "spiritual alarm clock." The piercing notes—Tekiah (attention), Shevarim (crying), Teruah (wake-up call), and finally Tekiah Gedolah (a great blast played at the end of the Rosh Hashanah service)—vary in pitch and tone, each symbolising different aspects of the soul's journey. Much like these varying sounds, Jewish architecture and Jewish sound embody the diversity of design and tradition that bring spaces to life.


The great sound of the Shofar serves as both a personal and communal call, reminding us of the power of sound to elevate, connect, and inspire. Just as sound can shift emotions, transform spaces, and enhance experiences, so too can our work at Studio Razbash. Whether through architectural design or sonic environments, we craft spaces that honor heritage and tradition while embracing modern innovation.


As you reflect on the year ahead, consider how Jewish architecture—spaces built with intention, meaning, and resonance—can offer a spiritual reset for your home, business, or community. Whether you're looking to create harmonious environments in entertainment, hospitality, or your personal space, we invite you to explore how your next project can transform your life in 5785.

May this year bring you clarity, creativity, and the sweet sound of new beginnings.


Shana Tova Umetuka!
