The Florida Times Union

Tell us about your family.

I am one of nine and my wife is one of 11, thank G-d. [Editor’s note: Orthodox and many other Jews refrain from writing out or speaking the name of God because doing so outside of prayer and worship is considered sacrilegious.]

The Rebbe says:

1. The Talmud tells us that “The Mitzvah of the day (of Rosh Hashanah) is blowing the Shofar”.

2. The Rebbe now quotes the Baal Shem Tov who explains the Shofar’s meaning:

The Baal Shem Tov explains the Shofar with a parable :

Blowing the Shofar is like a child crying to his father and saying, “Father, father, save me”.
