Feast of Trumpets

The common name obscures the Hebrew Yom Teruah — the Day of Blowing, or sounding. While trumpets were blown, they were also blown on every new moon; what distinguishes this feast is not the instrument but the act itself — breath, sound, something sent out. What that points toward requires a closer look.

Synonyms: Yom Teruah, Day of Blowing, Day of Sounding.
