Israel has shut down! The roads are empty, televisions are silent, cell phones cease to ring. In a historic move that should resonate across the globe, an entire nation pauses its daily hustle and bustle to seek God’s forgiveness and healing.
Holy Standstill Israel is a unique place during Yom Kippur. The entire country comes to a complete standstill. There are no vehicles on the road, there are no businesses open, no music playing anywhere, no loud chatter or sound of laughter, screens are shut down. For the next 24 hours, everyone’s focus shifts to God and their relationship with Him. It is a somber day for the people of Israel, as they understand not only its cultural significance, but its importance for their eternity.
According to the Jewish tradition Yom Kippur is believed to be a critical day for Jewish souls. It is to come before God, stripped of everything, standing before Him bare, repentant, and seeking His forgiveness. But most importantly, this is the day Jewish people seek atonement and salvation. This is why it is so important that you help VOJI be present in Israel to share the truth of Yeshua.
