Jewish people in Israel and across the diaspora are observing Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism, beginning Sunday evening and continuing through Monday. The approximately 26-hour fast is dedicated primarily to prayer, worship, and seeking divine forgiveness.
In Israel, public and private transportation will halt, and all public institutions, businesses, and services will be closed, with the exception of emergency medical, rescue, and security services. All media outlets, including radio and television, will cease broadcasting. Specifically, the Arabic service of "Kol Yisrael" (The Voice of Israel) will suspend its broadcasts after 2 PM Sunday and resume at 7 PM Monday, following the conclusion of Yom Kippur observances.
The Israeli police have completed their preparations for the holiday, deploying thousands of officers, Border Guard combatants, and volunteers to holy sites, recreational areas, beaches, and parks.
