Abstract: 

Traditionally the restoration of the Jerusalem temple by Simon II around 200 BCE provides the context for the argumentation in support of a feast as the background for Sirach 50. Most scholars originally looked at Yoma for the feast of Yom Kippur, subsequently, at Tamid for an ordinary daily offering. On the basis of the trumpet blast being the remembrance before the Most High, the feast of Rosh Hashanah in 200 BCE is proposed. The current approach offers a reevaluation of the arguments.
