The shofar, a ram’s horn, is blown during Rosh Hashanah as a call to spiritual awakening. It is traditionally sounded after the recital of each of three groups of prayers during the musaf service. The association of the holiday with the blowing of horns is derived from Leviticus as well as Numbers, in which the holiday is called Yom Teruah (Day of Blowing Trumpets).
