The Hebrew name for the three broken notes in a shofar sequence is “shevarim.”
Shevarim is one of the principal shofar sounds heard on Rosh Hashanah. It consists of three medium-length, broken blasts, traditionally compared with sighing or moaning. The name comes from a Hebrew root associated with breaking, matching the sound’s segmented character.
It is used in several standard combinations. In tekiah-shevarim-tekiah, the three broken notes are framed by a long, uninterrupted tekiah. In the longer TaShRaT pattern, shevarim is followed by teruah, a rapid series of very short staccato notes. These combinations reflect an ancient uncertainty about exactly what the biblical word teruah required.
Tekiah is the single sustained blast, while teruah is the quick, trembling sequence; neither is the specific answer to this question. Musaf is a prayer service, not a shofar note. Modern practice commonly includes 30 required-pattern blasts and often reaches 100 or more sounds during the day, depending on communal custom.
