Tkhine of the Matriarchs for the Shofar

In this article they talk about the blowing of the Shofar and how the sound of it is used to blow your sins away and confuse Satan so he can't accuse us. I didn't know that any Jews ever believed in Satan. This is an interesting fact and it makes it sound like the Jews were extremely scared and thought their family members would look down on their sorrow. They were also afraid of having their children lose their mother or father because it caused anguish when Isaac was taken from Sarah. They are praying more for the future than asking for forgiveness from their past which is the whole reason of Rosh Hoshanah and blowing the Shofar.
