    1. סעיף א׳Seif 1

      עברית

      ששה תקיעות שהיו תוקעין בע"ש. ובו סעיף אחד:
      כשהיו ישראל ביישובן היו תוקעין בע"ש ששה תקיעות כדי להבדיל את העם מן המלאכה: הגה ונהגו בקהלות הקדושות שכל שהוא סמוך לשבת כחצי שעה או שעה שמכריז ש"צ להכין עצמן לשבת והיא במקום התקיעות בימיהם וכן ראוי לנהוג בכל מקום:

      English

      The Six Shofar Blasts that Would Be Sounded on Friday: When the Jewish people were settled in their land, they used to sound six shofar blasts on Erev Shabbat, [to alert] the people to conclude [their] work. RAMA: At present, the custom in holy communities is that a half hour or an hour before Shabbos, an emissary of the community announces [that everyone] should prepare himself for Shabbat, and this is in place of the shofar blasts that took place in those days. It is appropriate to act thus in all places.
