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).
In Daniel 12:1-2, we find several themes of Rosh HaShanah / Yom Teruah. They are the time of trouble, those written in the book of life, and the resurrection of the dead.
