When is Yom Kippur 2008 in China
When is Yom Kippur 2008 in China is a reasonable question if you happen to be Jewish and in China?
Yom Kippur is the holiest day in the Jewish faith.
It begins at sunset on Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
Yom Kippur is officially based on the time of sunset in the local area and happens on the 10th day of the Jewish month Tishrei – says Leviticus 23:37.
Yom Kippur is the day of atonement when the people receive forgiveness.Jews observe Yom Kippur by fasting and praying for a 25-hour period.
So, when is Yom Kippur 2008 in China? Yesterday. It’s already past.
Okay…so a different question – Do the Chinese, like the US, have a July 4th? And, if so, when is it?
The answer – yes, they do. It’s on July 4th.
The Chinese National Day, founding of the PRC, was celebrated earlier this month
