Question: when do they blow the shofar on the feast of trumpets

title: Shofar
text: The expert who blows ( or `` blasts '' or `` sounds '' ) the shofar is termed the Tokea ( lit . `` Blaster '' ) or Ba'al Tekiah ( lit . `` Master of the Blast '' ) . Being a Ba'al Tekiah ( shofar sounder ) is an honor . Every male Jew is eligible for this sacred office , providing he is acceptable to the congregation . `` The one who blows the shofar on Rosh Hashanah ... should likewise be learned in the Torah and shall be God - fearing ; the best man available . '' If a potential choice will cause dissension , he should withdraw his candidacy , even if the improper person will be chosen .
