Shofar
(Mishneh Torah, Hilchos Teshuvah 3:4),The Rambam writes “Although sounding the shofar on Rosh Hashanah is a Torah decree, it is also symbolic, as if to say, ‘Sleepers, awaken from your sleep! Slumberers, shake off your slumber! Scrutinize your deeds, return through repentance and remember your Creator. Those who ignore truth for the foolishness of the moment, who fritter away their years with meaningless folly, useless and ineffective, take a good look at yourselves and improve your ways.’”
