  Yom Kippur   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Yom Kippur is the Jewish day of repentance, considered to be the holiest and most solemn day of the year.
Yom Kippur completes the penitential period of ten days that begins with New-Year's Day, the season of repentance and prayer; for though prayerful humiliation be acceptable at all times, it is thought to be peculiarly potent at that time.
Yom Kippur comes to an end with the blowing of the shofar, which marks the conclusion of the fast.

 L'Chaim: 838: Yom-Kipur
On Yom Kippur we all go to the synagogue, sit down, position ourselves in neutral and wait for the conveyor belt to begin moving.
This is also reflected in the "essence of the Day (Yom Kippur)" the unique and only day in the year, which of all the festivals ordained in the Torah, is celebrated for one day only, both in and outside of the Land of Israel.
On Yom Kippur, we solemnly intone the ancient words: "Repentance, prayer and charity, annul the harmful decree." It is not only the noise made by the charity, then, as the Baal Shem Tov mentioned, but the actual giving of the charity that is so important.

 THE CONFLICT HELIX AND A KOREAN WAR
Necessary ones must be present for war to occur (as gravity is a force that must be present for an object to fall).

 James R. Schlesinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In October 1973, three months after he took office, Egypt and Syria launched the Yom Kippur War with a sudden attack on Israel.
A few days after the war started, with Israel not faring well militarily and the Soviets resupplying the Arab belligerents, the United States began airlifting supplies to Israel.
In the aftermath of the Yom Kippur conflict, partly because of U.S. assistance to the Israelis, the Arab members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cut off oil shipments to the United States for several months.

 High Holy Days on the Net - The Jewish Holiday of Yom Kippur
By Yom Kippur the 40 days of repentance, that begin with the first of Elul, have passed.
Since Yom Kippur is the day to ask forgiveness for promises broken to G-d, the day before is reserved for asking forgiveness for broken promises between people, as G-d cannot forgive broken promises between people.
It is the only service of the year during which the doors to the Ark (where the Torah scrolls are stored) remain open from the beginning to end of the service, signifying that the gates of Heaven are open at this time.

 The Jewish Racist
This was the result of the yom kipur war where the best efforts of the arabs combined with the worst efforts of the israeli government and IDF high command and still ended up in jewish victory.
The israeli establishment has no interest in stopping arab violence since, just like the arab rulers, the war gives it a carte blanche to do whatever it wants in all areas of life as long as it seems to be active on the arab front.
I think they think they can, mostly because they think that the War on Terrorism is an american invention and that the moment the americans grow tired of it and leave it would all go back to business as usual.

On Yom Kipur we fast (no food or drink) from sundown tonight, till the stars come out tomorrow (about 25 hours).
Yom Kipur is often described as the most solemn day of the year, and it is. It is a time of introspection and atonement, which is why Egypt and Syria took advantage of this day to attack Israel in the Yom Kipur war.
Indeed, it is paired with Tu B’av as one of the happiest days of the year (There were no days so good for Israel as the fifteenth of Av and Yom Kippur – Ta`anit 4:8).

The three-line UN Security Council Resolution 338, adopted on October 22, 1973, called for the ceasefire in the Yom Kippur War in article 1 and for implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 242 in article 2.
This use of the language of chapter VII and article 25 of the UN Charter demonstrates that it is not just a UN Security Council Resolution, but a rare Security Council "Decision" (The resolution also refers to itself as a "decision" in article 1).
The legal force added to SC 242 by this resolution is the reason for the otherwise puzzling fact that SC 242 and the otherwise seemingly superfluous and superannuated SC 338 are always referred to together in legal documents relating to the conflict.
