9. The shofar is a ram's horn which is blown somewhat like a trumpet. One of the most important observances of this holiday [Rosh Hashanah] is hearing the sounding of the shofar in the synagogue. A total of 100 notes are sounded each day.

10. The resurrection of the dead will occur in the messianic age, a time referred to in Hebrew as the Olam Ha-Ba, the World to Come, but that term is also used to refer to the spiritual afterlife.

The wicked dead will not be resurrected.
