""I'm sorry for my stupid tweet about the shofar," Tzur wrote. "I apologize to anyone who was offended by me. I love the great Judaism and am proud to be Jewish. And may we be well and safe here.".
At the end of Rosh Hashanah, Tzur tweeted on his Twitter account, which is followed by thousands of people, and wrote: "There is someone here in the neighborhood who blows the shofar for his own pleasure throughout the holiday season. I have never heard such a repulsive sound. You can really hear that it is an organic organ that produces a penetrating sound that cannot be escaped. I respect the custom in the synagogue. But at home? Dear brother. Stop immediately.".
