A Good Year
(Shana Tovah - שנה טובה)

An essential practice during Rosh Hashanah is the sounding of the shofar, a musical instrument crafted from a ram's horn. The act of blowing the shofar is a mitzvah, a religious commandment performed every morning of Rosh Hashanah. The exception is if the first day of the holiday coincides with Shabbat (the Sabbath). Moreover, the shofar's sound also fills the air each day throughout the month of Elul.
