The
Jewish New Year, called Rosh Hashana, is sometimes called the
"feast of the trumpets." It starts on the first day of
the month of Tishri, which may begin any time from September 6 to
October 5. The celebration lasts for 48 hours
but ushers in a ten-day period of penitence known as "The
Days of Awe".

What does the Bible say about the Feast of Trumpets?
Here
is what Naves Topical Bible tells us about the
FEAST OF TRUMPETS:
When and how observed Leviticus 23:24,25; Numbers 29:1-6
Celebrated after the captivity with joy Nehemiah 8:2,9-12
Here
is what Smith's Bible Dictionary tells us about
The Feast of Trumpets,
(Numbers 29:1; Leviticus 23:24) the feast of the new
moon, which fell on the first of Tisri. It differed from the
ordinary festivals of the new moon in several important
particulars. It was one of the seven days of holy convocation.
Instead of the mere blowing of the trumpets of the temple at the
time of the offering of the sacrifices, it was "a day of
blowing of trumpets." In addition to the daily sacrifices
and the eleven victims offered on the first of every month, there
were offered a young bullock, a ram and seven lambs of the first
year, with the accustomed meat offerings, and a kid for a sin
offering. (Numbers 29:1-6) The regular monthly
offering was thus repeated, with the exception of the young
bullock. It has been conjectured that (Psalms 81:1) ... one of the songs of
Asaph, was composed expressly for the Feast of Trumpets. The
psalm is used in the service for the day by the modern Jews.
Various meanings have been assigned to the Feast of Trumpets; but
there seems to be no sufficient reason to call in question the
common opinion of Jews and Christians, that if was the festival
of the New Year’s day of the civil year, the first of Tisri,
the month which commenced the sabbatical year and the year of
jubilee.
The Easton's Bible Dictionary tells us this about
The Feast of Trumpets,
was
celebrated at the beginning of the month Tisri, the first month
of the civil year. It received its name from the circumstances
that the trumpets usually blown at the commencement of each month
were on that occasion blown with unusual solemnity (Lev.
23:23-25; Num. 10:10; 29:1-6). It was one of the seven days of
holy convocation. The special design of this feast, which is
described in these verses, is not known.

What is the significance of The Feast of Trumpets falling on a Sabbath?
The Sabbath in Judaism is the seventh day of the week, Saturday, which is a holy day of rest. The Sabbath begins at sundown on Friday and ends at nightfall Saturday, at the time when it is calculated that three stars can be seen in the evening sky. On the Sabbath, Jews attend worship services in the synagogue and have special meals at home. Orthodox Jews do not work, travel, or carry money on the Sabbath.
Isn't there a verse that mentions the "last trump"?
Yes there is just one.
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
~1 Corinthians 15:52~
Lets look at what the Psalms tells us about the feast:
"Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day. For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob."
Psalm 81:3-4
Is Rosh Hashanah the same as the Feast of Trumpets?
The World Book Encyclopedia tells us that:
Rosh Ha-Shanah, pronounced rohsh hah SHAH nah or pronounced rohsh hah shah NAH, is the Jewish New Year celebration. The Hebrew words Rosh Ha-Shanah (which are also written Rosh Hashanah) mean Beginning of the Year. During this solemn religious festival, Jews pray for God's forgiveness, for a good year, and for long life. Rosh Ha-Shanah usually begins in September, on the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishri, and lasts two days. Some Reform Jews celebrate it for one day.
Rosh Ha-Shanah begins the Ten Days of Penitence, which end on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement (YOM KIPPUR). Jews believe Rosh Ha-Shanah is the beginning of God's annual judgment of humanity. At that time, God decides who will continue to live and who will die during the coming year.
Jews attend synagogue services on Rosh Ha-Shanah. These services emphasize the themes of judgment, penitence, and forgiveness. A ram's horn, called a shofar, is blown to call the people to repentance and to awaken the Jews to the service of God. Three special groups of prayers are recited during the holiday. The first group reminds the people that God rules the world. The second group tells them that God responds to the sound of the shofar, and the third group that He remembers people's deeds.
What are the High Feasts and Festivals of Judaism?
In Judaism, the most sacred festivals are Rosh Ha-Shanah, the Jewish New Year; and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. According to Jewish tradition, people are judged on Rosh Ha-Shanah for their deeds of the past year. On Yom Kippur, Jews fast, express their regret for past sins, and declare their hope to perform good deeds during the coming year.
Many Jewish festivals commemorate major events in Jewish history. For example, Passover celebrates the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. Hanukkah is a celebration of a Jewish victory over the Syrians in 165 BC. Purim honors the rescue of the Jews of Persia (now Iran) from a plot to kill them. Jews celebrate these festivals both in synagogues and at home.

Here is what "Ask the Rabbi" Website
says about Rosh Hashanah:Dear Rabbi, Could you email me a brief description of Rosh Hashana? I would like to use it for my web page.
Dear David, The first day of Tishrei is called "a day of shofar blasting" (Numbers 29:1). Our oral tradition tells us that this day marks the anniversary of the creation of the world. Hence it is the day when, every year, G-d "takes stock" of Creation, judging our actions. Thus, we call it Rosh Hashana, the "Head" of the Year; for just as the head directs the body, so too, G-d's judgment on Rosh Hashana directs the events of the coming year.
Rosh Hashana is a two-day festival which we honor and enjoy with special (new) clothing and festive meals. There is a prohibition against certain types of work. We light holiday candles and recite kiddush over wine. We eat sweet apples dipped in honey, in prayer that we merit a good, sweet year. The highlight of the daily prayer service is the sounding of the shofar, the ram's horn.

What are the "High
Holidays"?
The
High Holidays, called Rosh Ha-Shanah and Yom Kippur, are the most
sacred days of the Jewish year.
Like all Jewish holidays, they occur on different dates each year
because they are based on the Hebrew
calendar. The High Holidays come during Tishri, the first month
of the Hebrew calendar, which
usually falls in September or October. (See Annie's
New Years Page to learn about the Jewish Calendar)
Rosh
Ha-Shanah, the Jewish New Year, begins on the first day of Tishri
and lasts two days. It celebrates the
creation of the world and God's rule over it. According to Jewish
tradition, people are judged on Rosh
Ha-Shanah for their deeds of the past year. The chief symbol is
the shofar,
a ram's horn that is sounded during the holiday worship.
Rosh
Ha-Shanah begins the Ten Days of Penitence, which end on Yom
Kippur, the Day of Atonement.

More about Rosh Hashanah
Rosh
Hashanah (Hebrew, "beginning of the year"), Jewish New
Year, celebrated on the first and second days of the Jewish month
of Tishri (falling in September or October) by Orthodox and
Conservative Jews outside Israel and on the first day alone by
Reform Jews and Israeli Jews. It begins the observance of the Ten
Penitential Days, a period ending with Yom Kippur that is the
most solemn of the Jewish calendar. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
are known as the High Holy Days.
In the Bible, Rosh Hashanah is mentioned only as a day of remembrance and of the sounding of the ram's horn. These two characteristics of the day, interwoven with the theme of the proclamation of God's kingship, became the major components of the New Year's observance in later Judaism. They are emphasized in the liturgy by the repetition of "verses of remembrance," "verses that mention the ram's horn," and "sovereignty verses." The first of these is important because it represents the sense of continuing creation and development of the world that Judaism emphasizes on this anniversary of creation. Because good and evil actions greatly influence the future, it is emphasized that God "remembers," and mention is made of the meritorious acts of the Hebrew patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to urge emulation of their holiness as the path to redemption.
Indeed, the most prominent scriptural passage in the Rosh Hashanah liturgy is that of the binding of Isaac (see Genesis 22), which forms the portion from the Torah designated for reading on that day. This passage leads into the theme of the ram's horn; in the service in the synagogue the shofar, a wind instrument made of ram's horn to represent the horn of the animal sacrificed in Isaac's stead, is blown. Early peoples often made noise at the New Year to drive away demons; the Jews transformed this practice into a blowing of the horn to prefigure the moment when God would destroy the evil in the world, "blow the ram's horn, and come with the whirlwinds." At that moment, it is held in the "sovereignty verses," God will be king over all the earth, as he is now king over those who accept him in a renewal of commitment on Rosh Hashanah. ~Source Encarta Encyclopedia~
