Julius: In reference to your reference to Yom Kipper... Yom Kipper is Hebrew for Day of Atonement. It is a day of fast on which no work is done which is observed in Israel ten days after Rosh Hashanah, the fall new year. It is the most solemn festival on which people traditionally deprive themselves from not only food but bathing, cosmetics, and sexual intercourse. The day is usually spent chanting in the synagogue. In ancient times, this was the only day of the year that the high priest entered the innermost chamber of the Temple, the Holy of Holies, offering incense, a symbol of forgiveness. One goat was sacrificed while another, the "scapegoat," symbolically took on the sins of the people and was driven into the wilderness. Jewish tradition looks to Yom Kipper as a day of judgment. Christians use the theology of Yom Kipper to explain Christ's death on the cross. They recognize "the blood of Christ" as the sacrifice which took away the sins of the people. Julius: Just wondering why you think it will be a week before the NASDQ recovers? According to Yom Kipper goats all across the Synagogs of America will be sacrificed Monday and others will be liberated. I feel it will turn Mon Tue timeframe.......I'm serious , no humor towards my Jewish friends in this ......gregor
