The big red letters at the top say "Adon Ha'selichot" and the smaller letters say "L'yomim hanoraim."
Yomim Hanoraim means High Holidays. Specifically they are, Rosh Hashana-The Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur, which is the Day of Atonement. On the High Holidays Jews sing songs and prayers of "Selichot" (Forgiveness).
"Adon Ha'Selichot",one of the songs, and the name of the album that the picture originally depicted, translates to "Master of Forgiveness", a reference to G-d. The picture before editing was of an album of High Holiday songs by a singer called Mordachai Bouzaglo. You can see the picture in its original context and hear some of the song at www.israel-music.com/mordechai_bouzaglo/adon_ha'selichot/
