A survey carried out by the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot and the Yesodot organisation has revealed that the Yom Kippur fast remains one of most popular mitzvot among Israel's citizen. This year the majority of the public plans to fast, pray and seek forgiveness. Asked whether they plan to fast on Yom Kippur, 61 of Israelis said yes and 28 said no. Six percent said they would fast only part of the day and 5 had yet to decide. According to a religious segmentation, 100 of haredim, 100 of religious and 85 of traditional Jews will abstain from eating and drinking for an entire day. Among seculars, about half of respondents will fast (most of them all day) and half won't fast at all.
