Israel observes Simchat Torah

Israel celebrates Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur is a National Holiday in Israel

Yom Kippur Date: October 7

Yom Kippur is a public holiday in Israel.

The name “Yom Kippur” means “Day of Atonement” and that pretty much explains what the holiday is. It is a day set aside to “afflict the soul,” to atone for the sins of the past year. This day is, essentially, your last appeal, your last chance to change the judgment, to demonstrate your repentance and make amends. Yom Kippur is the most important, the most sacred of any day in the Jewish year. Many Jews who do not observe any other Jewish custom will refrain from work, fast and or attend synagogue services on this day. Yom Kippur occurs on the 10th day of Tishri. In Israel, it is a day when the world stands still. Cars are not allowed on the road. Only the sound of children laughing as they ride their bicycles, the voices of prayer coming from the Beit Knesset. For 24 hours all places of entertainment, all local cable TV does not exist. One day totally free of car horns, telephone calls, email and polluted air.

Only the study of certain parts of the Torah is permitted. Although a sad Jewish holiday many people around the world believe it teaches whoever mourns over Jerusalem will merit the future vision of her joy. Rejoice greatly with her all who mourn her as written in Isaiah chapter 66 verse 10.
