 Hear the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah

It is the main Mitzvah for the holiday

hearing the shofar.

Why?

1. It’s a Mitzvah

Sometimes the most important reason is the simplest one: We do it because G‑d asked us to. The G‑d who gives you life, food, health, and everything you have. He said “shofar,” so shofar it is. No overthinking. Just do it because G‑d asked.

2. It’s Raw and Real

We live in a world of filters, edits, and now AI-generated everything. The shofar is the exact opposite. It is raw, simple, pure, and straight from the soul. When you hear it, close your eyes and let that holy sound cut through all the noise.

3. It’s the Sound of the Heart

Crying is not only about sadness. It is how we express what words cannot. Rosh Hashanah is our giant “reset” moment. We tell G‑d, “I am ready to return,” and we cry, just like we cry to a loving parent. G‑d listens and hugs us back, giving us a clean slate to start anew. 

4. It’s a 3,000-Year-Old Tradition

Your great-great-great-grandparents dipped an apple in honey on Rosh Hashanah, and surely heard the shofar. And so did their parents, and their parents before them.   Hearing it connects you directly to them and to every Jew around the world.

5. It’s Everywhere

Unless you are spending Rosh Hashanah on the moon, there is probably a shul or Chabad nearby. If you cannot make it to the whole service, the rabbi will happily blow the shofar for you. It really is that important. And if you have a friend, family member, or neighbor who won’t be able to make it to services, reach out and offer to help arrange to have someone stop by and blow the shofar for them, too. 

Wishing you a Shanah Tovah Umtuka!
Rabbi Yossi and Shoshana Laufer, Chabad of West Bay in Warwick RI
