Footnotes

  1. Leviticus 23:23 Traditionally, this is called the Festival of Trumpets, but trumpets (hatzotzerot) are long metal instruments, not the animal horns (shofar) used to announce this festival. This section, however, does not actually specify the instrument. The text simply says a memorial of blowing. The metal trumpets were, however, used to signal the presentation of sacrifices on festival days.
