We had a rabbi and his wife fly in from Israel to lead Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services. They were talking on the phone to their son regarding Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish year. No work is done on this day and in Israel everything closes down. It is similar to how small American towns react to Christmas Day.
They explained to their son that they took a cab to services and their son was very surprised.
Son, "You could find a cab that was working on Yom Kippur?!?"
Mom, "Yes. Only the Orthodox drivers in Beijing stayed home today."
