High Holy Days are a special time before the Lord.
Please dress appropriately.
Psalm 96:7 Give Adonai his due, you families from the peoples;
give Adonai his due of glory and strength;
8 give Adonai the glory due to his name;
bring an offering, and enter his courtyards.
9 WORSHIP ADONAI IN HOLY ARRAY;
tremble before him, all the earth!
10 Say among the nations, “Adonai is king!”
The world is firmly established, immovable.
He will judge the peoples fairly.
