There are three different sounds included in the shofar service on Rosh Hashana: a long, unbroken sound, three distinct blasts, and a quick succession of blasts. The guide displayed here describes some of the kabbalistic meditations for the shofar blowing. Note the decorative space-fillers between each blast description. The scribe, Aviʻad Sar Shalom Norzi, also included a family genealogy in the beginning of the manuscript.
