# zikhron teruah (זִכְרוֹן תְּרוּעָה)

pronounced: zikh-RON te-roo-AH


**A remembrance or memorial of teruah — the wording Leviticus 23:24 gives the first day of the seventh month**

## 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 (The Torah's compact phrase leaves both remembrance and teruah open for later reflection)

> This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Yahweh: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
> — Exodus 12:14 (Root component — zikhron marks a day kept as a memorial before God, here at Passover rather than the seventh-month feast.)
