*''Teruah'' - A series of nine staccato blasts. To correctly render the teruah, it is necessary to accent the last note. There is also another school that accents the last note and takes the note up a third.<ref>'''Finkle, Arthur L.''', [http://www.geocities.com/afinkle221/Blasts/soundsof.htm ''Sounds of the Shofar'']</ref>

"Because of its powerful, thundering voice, a Shofar was sounded at events of earth-shattering significance. A surround-sound shofar blast filled the atmosphere when the [[Torah]] was given at Mt. Sinai, [[Joshua]] conquered [[Jericho]] with seven assault-Shofar city circlings, and the greatest Shofar recital in all eternity will accompany the arrival of [[Messiah|Moshiach]].<ref>'''Rabbi Mendy Hecht''' ''Ask Moses''</ref>

"In ancient Israel, ''tekiah'' was a reassuring sound. It signalled that the watchmen guarding the city were on duty and all was well. That sound periodically divided up the watches of the day and night. ''Shevarim'' signalled some significant event — the changing of the guard, the arrival of an important person such as a king, or a call to assemble and hear welcome news. The sound of ''shevarim'' was less routine than the ''tekiyah'', but it was welcome because it meant good tidings. ''Teruah'', however, was the sound of alarm. ''Teruah'' alerted Israel that they were under attack and that all the fighting men were needed to draw together immediately for battle. It might also be sounded for some other calamity that required the immediate and urgent convocation of all the people. Thus in most of the Bible texts where ''teruah'' appears, the word is translated as "''alarm''".
