Everyone knows the main mitzvah on Rosh Hashannah is the blowing and the shofar and the hearing of the shofar. The shofar has so many meanings and connotations.
We know that sometimes there are ideas and feelings that we can express with words. But sometimes my emotions are so strong, my ideas are so deep, that I have no words to contain all that I’m feeling.
And that is the sound of the shofar. When we just echo out different sounds of a T’kiyah, a Shvarim, a Truah T’kiyah, beyond words. Something deeper than all the words.
This year when we blow the shofar, when we blow the Yom Truah, we should have a mind the halayim in Aza תרועם בשבט ברזל
Truah is also a lashon of war to crush the enemies with an iron rod וכי תבואו מלחמה בארצכם
When a war enters into the land, the enemy oppressing you, you blow that sound of a Truah.
We should also this Rosh Hashannah feel that great simcha of crowning and coronating Hashem, to feel the great joy.
The anniversary of the creation of Man. The great joy of living in the land of Israel. The shofar should reawaken in us the shofar Matan Torah.
But most of all, we should hear that T’kiyah Gedola, that great, great trumpet that will gather all of us together, all the hostages out of Aza, all the Jews for the four corners of the globe.
We should be zoche this year Yom Truah, I want to thank our friends from abroad. Yom Truah is a lashon of friendship, a language of friendship for all. Thank you for all your help, for your support in coming to visit us in Hebron. And those who couldn’t come, that are financially supportive.
Be’ezrat Hashem, together, we should see this Rosh Hashannah a great day of judgement, a judgment for geula this year “the year of my redemption has come.”
