      Byachad: 70,000 Non-Religious Expected at Yom Kippur


      Byachad, the Tzohar Rabbis and additional bodies said Wednesday evening that more than 70,000 non-religious Jews are expected to attend Yom Kippur services in the "Praying Together" program.

      Byachad organizes learning and prayer gatherings in dozens of community centers, schools and synagogues throughout Israel, in cities and agricultural communities. The meetings are hosted by 300 yeshiva graduates from the national-religious public, who are trained for the task by Byachad and Tzohar.
