For Shofar
Rabeinu Saadya Gaon teaches that there are 10 lessons of inspiration that we should focus on when hearing a Shofar blast.
1 - we blow on Rosh Hashana as part of the program to proclaim Hashem as our King.
2- it serves to wake us up to remember our purpose in life.
3- it reminds us of the Shofar blowing at Matan Torah.
4- it reminds us of the messages of all of the Prophets which are also as Shofar wake up calls.
5- reminds us of the noise by the destruction of the Beis Hamigdosh which we pray Hashem should rebuild.
6- reminds us of Akeida where an animal with horns was slaughtered instead of Yitzchak. We learn to be as devoted as the Avos.
7- the sound inspires us to fear Hashem.
8- reminds us of the great day of judgment in the future.
9- pray the great Shofar blast that will usher in the redemption.
10- reminds us of the great wake up of Techiyas Hameisim.

The First
Our Sages say - In the merit of Bikurim which are called the first fruits , Hashem created the world.
Why is this so significant ?
The word for rishon , first is the same as rosh , the head.
We need to focus on what is most important in life - to recognize and thank Hashem for everything. He is the creator of all & the One who maintains all.
