One of the most important customs of the Rosh Hashanah (New Year) service in the synagogue is the blowing of the shofar (ram’s horn). This is done because the Bible proclaims New Year’s Day as “The Day of Sounding the Shofar.” It is difficult to maintain the same sound on the instrument at all times. It must be held at an angle to the lips, with its mouth pointed upward and extended to the right.
