At sunset, tonight, Yom Kippur will

have been building cities and killing
each other on it for great deal more
than 5000 years. The old figures are
preserved for the sake Of sentiment.
The Jewish people have moved
above, like Celts. Normans, Danes and
others, and have not dwindled. In
New York city alone are at least
