Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets Script and Playlist
It’s hard to believe that it’s already time for the Fall Biblical Feasts, but Yom Teruah is nearly here, and I wanted to make our script and playlist available to you!
Our family’s celebration of Yom Teruah is pretty low key. We look for the first signs of the new moon each night in the days leading up to it and talk about how we are looking with even more anticipation for the return of Yeshua. On the night it is visible, we blow our trumpets and shofars and shout and rejoice and celebrate for all we’re worth. We often sit around our fire pit and sing worship songs and enjoy being together. Whenever possible, we try to gather with others who are keeping the feast.
This year, we’ll be joining with our house fellowship to celebrate, and we’ll be using this script as part of our worship time together. It follows the same format I used in the scripts for the spring feasts. I’ve included a Host, a Hostess, and Readers 1-16. Feel free to divvy those out however it works best for you. If you have more than sixteen people, two can share a reader role. If you have less, one person can do more than one part.
I’ve also included some songs to sing at the end of the script, including my original songs Your Name is our Favorite Word and HalleluYah. Here’s a YouTube playlist of lyric videos with all the songs included in the script to make it easy for you to find them. As always, feel free to make it your own and change the songs or the wording or anything else you want. This is to serve you, not something for you to serve!
Here are three versions of the script.
As with my scripts for Seudah Maphsehket, Passover, and the Feast of Firstfruits, I make no promises that the Word and Pages files will hold the formatting, so to see how I intended it to look, check the PDF file. I print them double-sided with the short-edge binding setting and then fold them in half. As with the others, I’ve included a coloring sheet for the cover. This one is from Ann Koffsky at Jewish Art by Ann.
I hope this is all helpful for you, and I’d love to hear if you do anything in your family to celebrate Yom Teruah! Shalom and Chag Sameach!
