"YHVH spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, "In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. "You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to YHVH." Leviticus 23:23-25
"Yom Teruah begins a ten-day period leading up to the holiest day of YHVH's calendar, Yom Kippur -- the "Day Of Atonement." These ten days are called the "Days of Awe" in modern Judaism. In fact, modern Judaism also includes the preceding month of Elul also as a time to prepare for the upcoming Fall moedim (appointed times). The sounding of the shofar on Yom Teruah is a wake-up blast -- a reminder that the time is near for the Day of Atonement. It is time to teshuvah (repent, turn back to YHVH). Traditionally, these ten days are ones of heart searching and self examination -- the shofar warns us we need to examine our lives and make amends with all those we have wronged in the previous year, and to ask forgiveness for any vows we may have broken. So a main theme of the Fall Holy Days is repentance."

While rabbinical Judaism will not blow the shofar this year until Sunday, it's based on rabbi opinions rather than what is stated in the Torah (first five books of the Christian Bible). Yom Teruah is on a Shabbat ( Friday to Saturday worship as implemented in the book of Genesis)... therefore is of double blessing... because both are considered to be "divine appointments being kept with God". If you celebrate this Feast of the Lord at a congregation may it be a blessing to you, the hearing of the Shofar is of particular importance because prophetical it represents the time of the Coronation of the King and it's a sound that believers should be familiar with to recognize His Return. Be blessed and there are resources available on this Groups page to provide added information on the Hebraic roots of Our Faith.
Yeshua's (Jesus') Shalom (Peace)

If you celebrate this Feast of the Lord at a congregation may it be a blessing to you, if not, it is listening to the sound of the Shofar which is of particular importance. Prophetically, it represents the time of the Coronation of the King, and believers are expected to be familiar with the Shofar's sound in order to recognize the time of His Return. There are several resources available on our Group page that provide added information on the Hebraic roots of Our Faith... feel free to search and review them. Be Blessed!

At least since the time of the destruction of the Second Temple, in 70 C.E., Rosh Hashanah has been celebrated for two days, both in the Diaspora and in Israel; this was meant in ancient times to allow for a margin of error for the sighting of the new moon that marks the opening of the month."
