The Arukh mentions a custom to blow 100 blasts: 30 before Mussaf, 30 during the Mussaf silent prayer, 30 during the cantor's loud repetition of Mussaf, and 10 more after Mussaf. [31] [32] The final 10 blasts are by tradition dating to the Geonim, and in some communities are blown in the middle of "Kaddish Tiskabal."
The first blast told the workers in the fields to cease working and to return to the city. The second blast told shops and inns in the city to close their stores. The third shofar blow told the people of the city that it was time to light the shabbos candles. The last shofar blows told the people that it was the instant before shabbos.

The vuvuzela / v uː v uː ˈ z ɛ l ə / is a horn, with an inexpensive injection-moulded plastic shell about 65 centimetres (2 ft) long, which produces a loud monotone note, typically around B♭ 3 [2] (the first B♭ below middle C). [3] Some models are made in two parts to facilitate storage, and this design also allows pitch variation.
One of the more widespread uses for blowing horns today is the shofar, a ram or Kudu horn with a hole drilled through it. The shofar is used mainly for Jewish ceremonies such as Rosh Hashanah. Horns also have significance in Christianity and Islam. [2] [3] The dungchen is a ritual horn used in Tibetan Buddhism.
