Jerualem on Yom Kippur

So, today is Yom Kippur or "the day of atonement" and everything is dead silent. All Jewish people today are fasting and resting and going to synagogue. It is crazy because they are not allowed to drive anywhere or shop or do anything productive so the entire city is silent. No cars are driving down the streets, no stores are open, nothing is going on. It is so strange that it is so quiet because normally we would be able to hear a billion (exaggeration) cars honking their horns outside (because that is what people do here... you think New York honking is bad... it has nothing on Jerusalem!). So it feels kinda eerie.
