Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets
The seventh month Tishri (Ethanim)
October 1 (at evening, September 30 a righteous convocation)
Also called feast of trumpets. The sounding of the trumpets (shophar; shofar; ram’s horn) is used to call the congregation of Israel to gather together. The instrument was blown to signal an announcement or alarm during times of peace and war, such as, the Jubilee Year (Lev. 25:8-13), Sabbaths, and the fall of the city of Jerico (Jos. 9).
