Shofar - Sounding the Shofar for High Jewish Holidays
The shofar is mentioned frequently in the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud and rabbinic literature. It is used during High Jewish Holidays. The blast of a shofar erupting from the thick cloud on Mount Sinai made the Israelites tremble in awe (Exodus 19, 20). The shofar is used to announce holidays, and the Jubilee year (Lev. 25. 9). The first day of the seventh month (Tishri) is termed "a memorial of blowing" (Lev. 23. 24), or "a day of blowing" (Num. xxix. 1), the shofar. It was also employed in processions (II Sam. 6. 15; I Chron. 15. 28), as a musical accompaniment (Ps. 98. 6; comp. ib. xlvii. 5) and to signify the start of a war (Josh. 6. 4; Judges 3. 27; 7. 16, 20; I Sam. 8. 3). As you can see, the shofar has had many uses, and it is still used to this day. Note that the 'trumpets' described in Numbers 10 are a different instrument, described by the Hebrew word 'trumpet' not the word for shofar. The Torah describes the first day of the seventh month (1st of Tishri = Rosh ha-Shanah) as a zikron teruah (memorial of blowing; Lev. xxiii) and as a yom teru'ah (day of blowing; Num. 29). This was interpreted by the Jewish sages as referring to the sounding the shofar.
