GATHERING THE EXILES FROM BABYLON TO ZION

In Jeremiah / Yermiyahu 51:50 it is written:

Jeremiah 51:50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.

Therefore, the ninth reason for blowing the shofar is to remind us of the gathering of the dispersed of Israel and to awaken our yearning for it.
