The Torah twice defines Rosh Hashanah as a day of teruah or horn-blowing (Leviticus 23:24, Numbers 29:1), without specifying exactly how this is to be done. The rabbis of the Talmud concluded that a shofar must be used for this blowing, and that each teruah must be preceded and followed by a tekiah.

Sounding the trumpet (shofar) has the ability to stir the heart to repentance. It calls us to return to God. Many Christians forget that the Old Testament is just as important as the New Testament.
