Do Not Drive On Yom Kippur

This is the Hebrew Day of Atonement, and is one of the holiest days in the Jewish religion. It is observed with a 25-hour long fast to express regret for any bad deeds committed during the year. Although not all observe the fasting, No one drives on that day, and the roads are completely vacant, except maybe for some kids riding their bikes. Also remember that no restaurant, shop, or cafe will also be open. Working is not allowed on this day of atonement. So be prepared to do nothing on this day. It is observed on the 10th day of the 7th month, but specific dates vary based on the Jewish calendar within September and October. Research before you visit Israel if you are going to be there within these months so you can plan your itinerary and not get shocked.
