Preparations One Whole Month Before Rosh HashanahTisha B'av signals to me that there are 7-weeks before Rosh HaShanah. Therefore, I spiritually prepare myselfby practicing the shofar at the beginning of the next month - Elul. During Elul, we customarilysound the shofar at the end of morning services.Sounding the shofar at services is a practical way of preparing for the "real deal" on Rosh HaShanah. In addition, this period serves as a reminder to orient my attention to appropriate repentance.Being a Shofar Sounder and Shofar teacher for 30+ years, I want to share a routine is based on sound musical principals expressed (hopefully) in plain English.art finkle
As follows.Rosh Hashanah is the first two days of the month of Tishrei, and is the Jewish New Year. Our traditions state that at that time the world is judged for the coming year (Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 16a); and during services we read the Torah and say prayers which ask for a good year and which declare God's kingship over the world. The shofar (ram's horn) is blown (Leviticus 23:24; Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 33b-34a), symbolically heralding God's kingship, and calling to mind the covenant of Isaac (see Genesis ch.22). Festive meals are held in the home, and traditional foods (such as the well-known apple dipped in honey) are eaten to symbolize a sweet year (See Talmud, Keritut 6a).See also:The Jewish holidays
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.
