What sefer?
The new "Hayom Yom - Tackling Life's Tasks" printed by Sichos in English. For each day it has some additional reading that beautifully supplements the Hayom Yom of the day, some days its a story thats connected and adds meaning, some days its background info, some days its an explanation of concepts mentioned in the day's Hayom Yom.
Its really a beautiful piece of work.
Best regular retail price i know of is $40, or $24 for the small - which is actually really quite nice.
Available on and off in Crown Heights for $32 for the large if you know where to go.
I hope this is not a breach of the forum rules.
can you engrave a name on a shofer ?
L'choireh there's no reason why not, technically, as long as it doesn't affect the sound the shofar makes. I suspect however, that engraving directly on a shofar wouldnt show up all that well. I have seen beautiful shofaros that have a silver sleeve around the middle of the body that can be engraved with anything you like. They look really nice, and as long as you know that the silver is not affecting the sound the shofar is making (not sure how you'd know that), it should probably be legit.
