What prayers are recited at the end of the Ne'ilah service, and what is the significance of sounding the shofar?
Synopsis
After the closing prayers, we recite 'He is the God' seven times, the Shema once, and 'Blessed be His glorious kingdom' three times, then sound the shofar in the sequence Tekiah-Shevarim-Teru'ah-Tekiah. The shofar signals the ascent of the Divine Presence.
