DescriptionShofar, ram’s horn blown like a trumpet during Rosh Hashanah services.
The four sounds of the shofar — tekiah, shevarim, teruah, and tekiah gedolah — remind many people of a crying voice. Hearing the shofar’s call is a reminder for us to look inward and repent for the sins of the past year.
