The Feast of Trumpets, also known as Yom Teruah in Hebrew, is a significant Jewish holiday that falls on the first day of the seventh month (Tishrei) in the Hebrew calendar, typically in September or October. It’s a day of rest, prayer, and reflection, marked by the blowing of shofars (ram’s horns).

Key Elements:
– Shofar Blowing: The shofar is blown to signal the start of the holiday and to awaken the people to repentance.
– Rest and Reflection: A day of rest, prayer, and introspection, focusing on God’s sovereignty and judgment.
– Prayer and Repentance: Jews around the world pray for forgiveness and reflect on their actions, seeking to improve in the coming year.

Bible Verse:
“Blow the trumpet in Zion; sanctify a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people; proclaim the holy day; assemble the elders; gather the children and nursing infants; let the bridegroom come out of his chamber, and the bride out of her bridal suite.” – Joel 2:15-16 (NASB)
