Tel Aviv: żydowskie święto Jom Kippur [GALERIA]

Dzień Pojednania, w Polsce zwany także „Sądnym Dniem” – jedno z najważniejszych, najbardziej uroczystych religijnych świąt żydowskich, o charakterze pokutnym. Przypada dziesiątego dnia miesiąca tiszri. Jom Kipur kończy okres „10 dni pokuty” (Jamim Noraim), rozpoczynający się w Rosz ha-Szana. Od zachodu słońca pierwszego dnia (czyli w wigilię) do zachodu dnia następnego obowiązuje całkowity zakaz pracy i ścisły post. Zakazane jest mycie się, namaszczanie ciała, odbywanie stosunków seksualnych, a nawet noszenie skórzanego obuwia. Jom Kipur jest jedynym świętem, do którego Żydzi żyjący w diasporze nie dodają drugiego dnia. Wynika to z trudności zachowania ścisłego postu przez dwa kolejne dni.
