The trumpets in Israel are traditionally blown during the Feast of Trumpets, also known as Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashanah, which occurs on the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishri. This feast marks the Jewish New Year and typically falls between the second week of September and the end of October on the Gregorian calendar. The blowing of the shofar (ram’s horn trumpet) is the central feature of this day, symbolizing a call to repentance and spiritual awakening. For 2025, the Feast of Trumpets began at sundown on Monday, September 22nd. The blowing of the trumpets is a key aspect of this day’s observance and continues as part of the festive and spiritual activities during the Ten Days of Awe leading up to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. The shofar is sounded many times throughout the day in synagogues and public gatherings in Israel and worldwide Jewish communities.
