Reply:You mean Yom Kippur, and it's not a feast. It is a very solemn holy day, the Day of Atonement. It's my favorite day on the Jewish calendar, in part because I was born on Yom Kippur, but largely because of what it represents.
I had to Google "feast of trumpets", but apparently that is a name some use for Rosh HaShanah.
Other favorite festivals for me are Chanukah, Purim, and Shavuot.
