Bah ' s do not live together as a separate community, but live and work in the wider society, which they try to serve to the best of their abilities. When they can, Bah ' s meet together regularly, usually in each others' homes or sometimes in local Bah ' centres. They may meet for prayers, to plan teaching activities or service projects, to study together, to hold children's classes or just to socialize. These meetings are sometimes called 'Firesides'. In addition to their own personal devotions, Bah ' s also gather together for worship.
Many communities organize early morning prayers.
There is no set ritual to Bah ' worship and so prayers are either chosen individually or selected by the host. Bah ' s are also encouraged to join with the followers of other faiths in worshipping God and actively promote inter-faith activities. Bah ' Houses of Worship are open to people of all faiths and traditions to join together in praise of God. There are nine Holy Days when, if possible, Bah ' s should not work or attend school. We should seek permission from our employers to be absent on Bah ' Holy Days and Bah ' employers should close their business premises on these days.
