Q: What is the main mitzvah of Rosh Hashanah?

Hearing the blowing of the shofar The main mitzvah of Rosh Hashanah is hearing the shofar, a ram's horn blown with specific patterns: Tekiah (long blast), Shevarim (three medium blasts), Teruah (nine short blasts). The shofar serves as a spiritual wake-up call to repentance, recalls the Binding of Isaac (ram), and heralds God's kingship.
