# shevarim (שְׁבָרִים)

pronounced: she-va-RIM


**Breakings — three broken, sighing sounds in the later Rosh HaShanah shofar sequence**

## In Scripture

> “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
> — Leviticus 23:24 (Traditional background — the Torah commands the seventh-month day of sound; the three-part shevarim pattern is a later interpretation of that command.)

> “‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no regular work: it is a day of blowing of trumpets to you.
> — Numbers 29:1 (Traditional background — Scripture names the day by its trumpet sound but does not distinguish the later blast patterns.)
