Tekiah Gedolah (pronounced geh-DOH-luh), tekiah gedolah is a triple tekiah, three consecutive blasts of three seconds each, for a total of nine seconds and continues for as long as you can. It is usually the last shofar call. This long blast usually announces the end of the holy day of Yom Kippur.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1-2 NKJV
