A Shmoneh Esrei Thought Relating to The Ram

We beseech G-d to "sound the great shofar toward our redemption."

When Yitzchak was not sacrificed, the ram that replaced him took a holy place in that moment. That ram lives on forever in the story of the Jewish People. The left horn was blown when G-d gave the Torah at Sinai. The larger right horn will be sounded by G-d when the exiles of Israel are finally redeemed.

(Pirkei DeRabi Eliezer - 31)
