Most shuls that I have attended change the parochet (ark "curtain"), shulchan (Torah reading table) and amud (chazzan's table) coverings and Torah coverings to white in honor of Rosh Hashanna and Yom Kippur.
However, the date for changing it back to the "regular" color seems to differ. I've seen some shuls change it back right after Yom Kippur is over (some point between Yom Kippur and Succot) while other leave the white on until after Simchat Torah.
Are there different minhagim? Are there specific groups that tend to follow one minhag over another? Why is there a difference / what's the source?
