(1 Oct 2006) HEADLINE: Israelis Prepare For Holiest Day in Jewish Calendar
---------------------------------------
CAPTION: Ceremonies fill the day for Israeli Jews as they get ready for Yom Kippur. (Oct. 1)
----------------------------------------
[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]
Jews in Israel are preparing for the holiest day in the Jewish calendar--Yom Kippur.
The holiday starts at sundown on Sunday and ends at nightfall on Monday.
[Notes:VIDEO: praying in temple]
Yom Kippur means Day of Atonement.
It's traditionally a time when Jews repent for sins they've committed in the past year.
They spend one full day fasting and praying.
[Notes:VIDEO: wide shot of wall]
Orthodox Jews gather and pray at the Western Wall of Temple Mount--it is sacred to Judaism.
Some bind their arms and head with special leather straps--where chapters of the Torah written on parchment are kept.
[Notes:VIDEO: passing chickens over head]
They also perform an ancient custom where they pass live chickens over their heads while reciting a special prayer.
Jews set up stations in their neighborhoods where people can stop by and take part in the tradition.
The custom symbolizes their remorse--the sins of the person are passed along to the chicken.
[Notes:VIDEO: chickens close up]
The animal is then slaughtered and given to the poor.
