		A. Shofar (pronounced SHOW-fur) is perhaps the oldest wind instrument known to man. Made of the hollowed horn of an animal, usually a ram, it is blown on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, the month of Elul, and by some Chassidic groups on Hoshanah Rabbah.

		The children of Israel blew the Shofar as a form of worship and as a thank you to God for His mercy shown to them and how He stood by our fathers and us even now, as it is said, Happy is the people that know the terua of Shofar.
		It was not necessary for Scripture to mention the blowing of the shofar on a specific day only [i.e., that it shall be a day of shofar unto you], for the shofar is already alluded to in the word {day}, since the word Shofar is already symbolic of Gods mercy for obedience.
		But it is through the tekia or the plain accompanying sound in the memorial, and the shofar together, alluding to the attribute of mercy, and the terua is as its name indicates also a reference to the attribute of judgment for sin.

	Why is it necessary to blow the Shofar on Rosh Hashana (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Shofar is the voice of truth, and when a person prays to Hashem with the voice of truth, his true inner feelings, a side door escape hatch us is opened for that person and he escapes from the forces of evil who try to condemn him, swallow him up, and prevent him from repenting.
		To further illustrate that the Shofar produces a voice of turth, which is the mechanism for escaping evil, the Shofar is synonymous with the verse, "The voice is the voice of Yakov." Voice is mentioned by the Shofar and voice is mentioned in reference to Yakov.
		This is why the Shofar is made from the horn of an animal: to show that we can elevate an almost useless part of an animal as a horn to holiness.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Holidays: Sounding the Shofar
		At some later time, this practice was changed, so that the sounding of the shofar and the reading of biblical verses connected with it were postponed until quite late in the day.
		Although the historicity of this specific event is not verifiable, what is clear is that the shofar, like the trumpet of the Romans, was an instrument used in biblical times to signal battle, as exemplified in the story of Joshua and the walls of Jericho.
		An additional blowing of the shofar was therefore added at the conclusion of the Torah service (without the biblical verses that once accompanied the act), and the sounding of the shofar was never returned to its original place.
