Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah)
Feast of Trumpets (Jewish New Year)

Adonai spoke to Moses saying: “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a Shabbat rest, a memorial of blowing (shofarot), a holy convocation. You are to do no regular work, and you are to present an offering made by fire to Adonai.”
(Leviticus 23:23-25 TLV)

Here are the Torah, Haftarah and suggested Brit Chadasha (New Testament) readings for this Festival.

• Genesis 21:1-34
• Numbers 29:1-6 
• 1 Samuel 1:1-2:10 
• Matthew 24:29-42
• 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Then Adonai visited Sarah just as He had said, and Adonai did for Sarah just as He had spoken. So Sarah became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time that God had told him. Abraham named his son who was born to him—whom Sarah bore for him—Isaac.
(Genesis 21:1-3 TLV)

On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a sacred assembly. You are to do no laborious work. It is for you a day for sounding the shofar.
(Numbers 29:1 TLV)

The Haftarah

They rose up early in the morning and worshipped before Adonai, then went back to their home to Ramah. Then Elkanah was intimate with his wife Hannah, and Adonai remembered her. So it came to pass at the turn of the year that Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She called his name Samuel, “because I have asked Adonai for him.”
(1 Samuel 1:19-20 TLV)

The Brit Chadasha

But immediately after the trouble of those days, ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’ Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the land will mourn, and they will see ‘the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven’ with power and great glory. He will send out His angels with a great shofar, and they will gather together His chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
(Matthew 24:29-31 TLV)
