Are trumpets blown over all 8 days of Sukkot Torah sacrifices? The following answer is from Duck AI.
Trumpet Blasts During Sukkot Trumpets are blown during the sacrifices on Sukkot, but not specifically on all eight days. The first day of Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret (the eighth day) are particularly noted for trumpet blasts during the offerings. Overview of Sukkot Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a seven-day Jewish holiday that begins on the 15th of Tishrei. It is a time of celebration and remembrance of the Israelites’ journey in the wilderness. Conclusion In summary, trumpet blasts are significant during the first day of Sukkot and on Shemini Atzeret, but they are not part of the sacrificial rituals for the intervening days.
Using the Gregorian calendar (AD)
along with the Torah day structure (ADT)
– days start at sunset:
October 3-4 ’26 AD/ADT
Sukkot began on Sept. 25th in ’26 AD so the 8th day, Shemini Atzeret, began on Oct. 3 ’26 AD and ends on Oct. 4 Jerusalem time, assuming the new moon was really not sighted until (before sunrise) 9/12.
Sukkot is followed by Shemini Atzeret (NY is on daylight savings time but it’s actually 7 hrs behind Israel.)
The beginning or sunset part of Shemini Atzeret occurred on October 3rd in Israel at 6:20PM. That was actually 11:20AM Oct. 3 in NY without daylight savings time, but NY clocks displayed 12:20PM Oct. 3.
The last half, the sunrise part of Shemini Atzeret began on October 4th in Israel at 6:33AM. That was actually at 11:33PM Oct. 3 in NY without daylight savings time, but NY clocks displayed 12:33 AM as if it were already Oct. 4th.
The conclusion of Shemini Atzeret is at twilight on October 4th in Israel at 6:31PM. That’s actually 11:18AM on Oct. 4 in NY without daylight savings time, but NY clocks will show 12:18PM as if it will already be Oct. 5th.
