Yom Kippur (יום כפור)

Well, this week we have Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement.  Here's a link to the wikipedia article.  For Yom Kippur, a bunch of us are getting together and having a sleep over and cooking and watching Israeli movies.  Most people fast, so we'll have to close the windows when we cook.  The thing I am most interested to see, is how everyone comes out to the streets to play and ride bicycles.  There are no cars.  No one drives, not even the Taxis.  I will post pictures for sure.

Tonight, we turn the clocks back an hour hear in Israel.  So remember my east coast friends that I am now 6 hours ahead of you (9 hours for the west coast) until you all turn the clocks back in the states.
