instruments: two silver trumpets
TO commemorate the new moon
and the Shofar, or rams horn, TO
announce the New Year. The lat
ter was named accordingly "4om
Teruoh", "Day of the Trumpets"
or "The Day of Blowing. The
tune of Shofar signifies also the
main thought and significance OF
the day, namely to awake the Jew
from the slumber of his soul and
to guide him to penitence on Yom
Kippur for the committed sins in
the past. Rosh Hashonah is the
time of special prayers; the Jew
confesses his dependency on the
Creator of the universe more de-
voutly than he does every day.
The substance Of the Haftarah
of the first day of Rosh Hashonah
has such a reference, mainly by
the ardent beseech of Hannah. It
shows the dependency OF mans
destiny on the Lords guidance.
It is very significant in the ancient
history of Judaism, particularly in
times of great decays, when there
seemed to be no prospect of i'm
provement, that in such moments
arose men full of strength and en-
thusiasm, who gathered the rem
nants of still existing Jewish life,
to guide them to the new path of
the future.
Such a man was Samuel, who
after Moses, can be considered as
the second founder of Israel. He
was the one who united the dis
persed tribes to one unit and in
spired them with national pride
and harmony. The Haftarah tells
us Lie C1ICu1Ll0Id1lCCO O4AOCA WAlANAA
Samuel was born. It is pointed
out that Samuel was dedicated to
the Lords service, beginning with
the day of his birth. Destiny
chose him to be the rescurer of
Judaism. Hannah, who had no
children, aware of the low degree
of Jewish conduct, prayed for a
son, whom she wanted to devote
as the great leader Of Israel. By
a deeper view into the essence of
this Haftarah, we can find the
analogy to our times.
The Jewish people are dispersed
in every corner of the earth,
helpless without a great leader.
The Jewish people need another
Samuel and the Shofar, to awake
it to new life. We must improve
our conduct, in order to deserve
the fulfillment of the prophets
divine promise.

propriate month of feasts. Since
every new moon has been assigned
with a religious significance, the
more was this the case with the
new moon of the seventh month,
which is preparatory to Yom
Kippur. Because it was custom
ary on every new moon for the
priests to blow the two silver
trumpets in the Beth Hamikdosh,
to signify the beginning of the
month, the more suitable was it to
use the trumpet as ceremony to
proclaim the beginning of the
year. In fact, at the start Of the
year the priests employed three
