תְּקִיעַת שׁוֹפָר
Introduction · Tekias Shofar
Before we turn
From the month to the shofar
One question, identified before the mishnayos begin.
The question
יוֹם תְּרוּעָה
The Torah calls the day a Yom Teruah — and does not say what produces the teruah.
So the chachamim connect it to Yovel
Where a shofar of teruah is named outright
What is left to define
A chain with four links
The instrument · the sound · the one who blows · the one who hears
Which horn counts as a shofar?
The true sound, or only an echo?
Can he discharge another's obligation?
And did he hear with the intention required?
What is a shofar?
The next mishnayos begin with the first link in the chain.
