Some have the practice to start on the first day of [[Rosh Chodesh]] Elul, while others start on the second day of [[Rosh Chodesh]]. <ref>The Rosh (Rosh Hashana 4:14) quotes Pirkei D’Rabi Eliezer, which says that Chazal established a practice of blowing the shofar on [[Rosh Chodesh]] Elul because a shofar was blown when Moshe ascended Har Sinai on [[Rosh Chodesh]] Elul.
