Q. One of my young children grabbed the shofar I use in our shul and was playing with it, putting it into his mouth and biting with his small but sharp teeth, the outside surface of the shofar. Is that a problem, can I still use it?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if the scratches and indentations are only on the outside surface and not in the area that touches the lips, there is no questionable issues.
