What is the connection between Hashem’s name “Eheke” and truth? Why did Hashem establish Tishrei (seventh month of the Jewish year) as a time of judgment, if creation was in Nisan (first month of the Jewish year)? In Tishrei Hashem "had the idea" to create the world, so to speak; in Nisan Hashem actually created it. At the time of creation, Tishrei was established as a time of forgiveness. Any occurance in heaven has to have been awakened by some physical act. The receipt of the Torah retroactively awakened the creation of the world. The world began with Hashem’s unarticulated thoughts, so to speak. The sound of the shofar is an unarticulated sound. Hashem bases his actions, so to speak, on man’s future positive actions, but never on man’s future negative actions. When we blow the shofar, we express our ratzon (desire) to return, even though we do not always successfully fulfill that desire. It is so dear to Hashem when we cry out “father, father.”
