שהוא קרן. ואינו קרוי שופר, דכתיב (דברים ל״ג:י״ז) בכור שורו הדר לו וקרני ראם קרניו. וגבי ר״ה שופר כתיב (ויקרא כ״ה:ט׳) והעברת שופר תרועה, וגמרינן ר״ה מיובל:
בקרן היובל. ויובל דכרא הוא, דאמר רבי עקיבא כשהלכתי לגליא היו קורין לדכרא יובלא, אלמא אפילו שופר של איל נקרא קרן. ורבנן אמרי כל השופרות אקרו קרן ואקרו שופר. דפרה, קרן איקרי שופר לא אקרי. והלכה כחכמים:

Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?
The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions, forming the basis of the Talmud. It dates back to around 200 CE and consists of teachings and discussions of Jewish law by various rabbis.
Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

שהוא קרן – and it is not called a Shofar, as it is written (Deuteronomy 33:17): “Like the firstling bull in his majesty, he has horns like the horns of a wild ox; [with them he gores the peoples…].” But regarding the Shofar, it is written (Leviticus 25:9): “Then you shall sound the horn loud…” And we learn Rosh Hashanah from the Jubilee [year].
בקרן היובל – the ram is male, as Rabbi Akiba said: When I walked to Galacia (Talmud Rosh Hashanah 26a), they called the male a ram, so we see that even a Shofar of a ram is called קרן /horn, and the Rabbis state that all the Shofars are called קרן/horn, and are called Shofar, except for a cow, it is called a horn, but not a Shofar, and the Halakha is according to the Sages.
