| [IsraelTimes] 5 arrested as activists block Tel Aviv highway, light tires to form message: ‘Sorry we were taken hostage’; Families Forum and others arrange prayer services at Hostages Square Once again all the photos are cropped in close up to give no indication of crowd size. The tweeted video shows at most two or three dozen. As Israeli Jews marked Yom Kippur, activists for the release of the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza held multiple protests over the weekend that were centered around the day’s focus of apologizing for sins, asking the captives for forgiveness and charging that the government doesn’t deserve forgiveness for failing to return the abductees.The Hostages and Missing Families Forum also arranged prayer services dedicated to the hostages at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv at the beginning of Yom Kippur on Friday evening and the end of the holiday on Saturday evening. The services were organized in partnership with the Orot Shaul yeshiva in Tel Aviv and the Tzohar rabbinical organization. The solemn fast day of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, is traditionally considered a day of atonement and repentance as God decides whether to forgive or punish people’s sins of the past year. On Saturday evening, protesters blocked Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Highway and lit tires on fire to form the words, “Sorry we were taken hostage.” Police said they arrested five demonstrators, adding that the road had been reopened after officers cleared the protesters.
