What word, commonly used in English to mean a celebration or commemoration, is originally derived from a Hebrew name for a ram's-horn trumpet.

[Dinkypuzzled]

Holiday ? (holy days were associated with sounding the Shofar)

[kempie]

Jubilee is the word used in the Scripture to designate the 50th year after 7 sets of 7 years or 49 years. The English word Jubilee comes from the Hebrew word Yowbel (Ram's Horn) similar to a Shofar.
