Did you know that many Jewish people have come to faith on the Day of Atonement? It's this Wednesday! - ONE FOR ISRAEL

Dr Erez Soref President of  ONE FOR ISRAEL  Shalom! This Wednesday will be the Biblical Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, as we call it in Hebrew. Many Jewish people have come to faith at this significant time, and we would love you to join us in praying this week in particular: That our people, the people of Israel, would come to know and enjoy the atonement that Yeshua provided for us all.   YOM KIPPUR - A DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING There will be quiet and empty roads across the land of Israel for the holiest day of the Jewish calendar: Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which starts on Tuesday evening at sundown and continues through to Wednesday evening.  Most Jewish will people go without food and drink for 24 hours and attend special Yom Kippur services at synagogues, even if they are not especially religious - much in the same way that many people celebrate Christmas even though they don't believe in Jesus.
