The following is recommended based on Friday-Sunday stay at Yom Teurah 2020. Please adjust as needed.

• Bible, notebook, & pen or pencil (any translation of the Bible is fine; we most commonly use the Cepher, HalleluYah Scriptures, the Scriptures, or KJV)

• Hygiene Essentials. This is separate from what you leave in your hotel bathroom. Bring a small brush, some make up, hand sanitizer (you will be amongst crowds of strangers in small breakout rooms) and any other necessary item to freshen up halfway through the day. Yom Teruahs have long days and are often made up of two parts – the educational daytime and the special events in the evening. Sometimes you won’t be able to go back to your hotel and change or freshen up, so come prepared.
