And its not just cars.
All airplanes, trains and all public transportation stop moving.
No music plays over the radio, television stops broadcasting, and all shops and businesses remain shut down.
For one day, Israel resembles a scene from a post apocalypse movie.
The air smells good, the visibility gets better and the distant roar of traffic is comfortably absent.
Residents take advantage of this day and goes out for walks along the empty city streets.
Some take out their bicycles, roller blades and skateboards.
Eating out during Yom Kippur can be difficult as so much of the country is fasting.
Hotels will run an almost skeleton staff and all leisure services such as gyms will be closed.
It is therefore highly unlikely that there will be fresh food or usual food service.
Its not as bad as it sounds, though.
