Question
Hello, I read that in the Yaavetz Siddur it is mentioned that the one who goes up to open the Ark says the verse "How awesome is this place..." - Is this the custom among Ashkenazim? And what is the reason?
Answer
Hello
This is not the custom.
It is likely because it is not mentioned by the early authorities.
