The last Mishnah of Rosh Hashanah
Three sets of tekiah · teruah · tekiah
A tekiah is three teruos long
A teruah is three yevavos — sobs
Teruah: shevarim, or short blasts — so we blow both
One long tekiah can't close one set and open the next
Restrictivehe has no more than one in hand.
→ it counts as one
The whole order of the blowing — half a Mishnah
what everyone knew needed few words
Davened first, and the shofar came later: just blow the three sets
Permissivehe blows tekiah, teruah and tekiah
Today: thirty blasts
Must each one daven — or does the chazzan discharge them?
Tanna KammaNo — every individual is obligated→ every individual must daven
Rabban GamlielYes — he discharges the public→ he discharges the public
Chachamim: the chazzan is for those who can't
