Coronation, Teshuva, and Shofar on Rosh Hashana 01.10.2024 4:01

On Rosh Hashana we blow the Shofar announcing the coronation of Hashem as our king. This is a call from a Jew’s essence to Hashem’s essence.

Then finally it reminds us to make practical resolutions to do more Mitzvos for the coming year!

The Shofar in Elul is different than the Shofar on Rosh Hashana. The Shofar on Rosh Hashana is a biblical commandment, but in Elul it is merely a custom to help us prepare for the new year. But there is a power in a Jewish custom that surpasses even God’s commandments!
