The cry of a child, liken to shofar blowing

is our raw guttural cry to our Father in Heaven, maybe it is a call that all the moments of this day be enjoyed with our Maker and Keeper, blessed be Him. Could it be, As the 7 day was the first day of Adam life, so the 7th month is the first month of a new year for us.
