THE READING OF PSALM 27

The entire month of Elul (the month preceding Yom Teruah) is a 30-day preparation through personal examination and repentance for the coming High Holy Days (Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur).

In a traditional Jewish synagogue, the shofar is blown after every service during these days except for the last day. Psalm 27 is read at the end of the morning and evening liturgy.
