Religious
Usage
The shofar is used mainly on Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is blown in synagogues
to mark the end of the fast at Yom Kippur, and blown at
four particular occasions in the prayers on Rosh Hashanah.
Because of its inherent ties to the Days of Repentance
and the inspiration that comes along with hearing its
piercing blasts, the shofar is also blown after morning
services for the entire month of Elul, the last month
of the Jewish civil year and the sixth of the Jewish ecclesiastical
year. It is not blown on the last day of month, however,
to mark the difference between the voluntary blasts of
the month and the mandatory blasts of the holiday. Shofar
blasts are also used during penitential rituals such
as Yom Kippur Katan and optional prayer services called
during times of communal distress. The exact modes of
sounding can vary from location to location.
