tekhiya (תחיה)

This is a tricky word. The kh is a gutteral sound. If you pronounce it like a k, it becomes the word for "trumpet blast" (tekiya). If you pronounce it like an h, it becomes the word for "amazement" (tehiya).

We blow the shofar because God commanded us to (Numbers 29:1). Symbolically, it is a declaration the God is King, just as people blow trumpets when the king appears. It is also a reminder that the day of shofar-blowing (Rosh Hashanah) is a day of judgment.
