The Shofar (the ram’s horn blown on the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana) was used as a clarion call at specific moments throughout the Bible. One of the prominent places the Shofar appears is to alert Israel to the Jubilee Year: “You shall count for yourself seven cycles of sabbatical years… and you shall sound a broken blast of the Shofar, in the seventh month on the tenth of the month, on the Day of Atonement you shall sound the Shofar throughout your land. You shall sanctify the fiftieth year and proclaim freedom throughout the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be the Jubilee year for you, you shall return each man to his ancestral heritage and you shall return each man to his family.” Leviticus (25:8-10)
