3. Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement, the most solemn of the Jewish holidays
1. Judges 3:30 - "and the land had rest fourscore years."
2. Altalena - a ship transporting weapons for the Irgun, which arrived off the coast after the founding of the state. The refusal of the Irgun to hand over all the weapons to the state triggered a gunbattle with about twenty deaths. This operation is seen as a milestone in the relations between the underground movements and the state.
