BLOWING THE SHOFAR SYMBOLIZES THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

One of the reasons for blowing the shofar on Rosh HaShanah / Yom Teruah is to proclaim the resurrection of the dead. The thirteenth article of Jewish faith is belief in the resurrection of the dead. According to Jewish tradition, the resurrection of the dead will take place on Rosh HaShanah (Talmud, Rosh HaShanah 16b).
