And as we say in the Shemoneh Esreh prayer, "Sound the great shofar for our freedom."

The commentators discuss how it is possible that the horns of a ram that was a burnt offering completely consumed for Hashem were preserved for later use. They also question how it would be permissible to use these horns given the prohibition of me'ilah (misuse of sacred items).
