The shofar represents the recognition that God is the King of our universe. This beautiful instrument is also played on Rosh Hashanah to commemorate God’s creation of the world. On this very special event, congregants surround the shofar which sounds like a trumpet announcing a king’s coronation. Its blowing inspires jubilation, celebration, and unification among all people who believe in Him. This magnificent instrument is also one way the Jews acknowledge God’s sovereignty on Rosh Hashanah by sounding His call throughout the earth.
