Yom Kippur Eve in Israel

About Yom Kippur Eve

Yom Kippur Eve marks the beginning of the Day of Atonement, the holiest day in Judaism. Observant Jews begin a period of fasting and prayer at sunset to seek forgiveness for their sins and reconcile with God and others. In Israel, this time is characterized by a complete cessation of public activity, including transport and media broadcasts, to allow for solemn reflection.
