"Zion remains committed to observing local customs such as Shabbat and holidays, and, as a result of 2018’s holiday schedule, it is impractical, inefficient, and cost prohibitive to try to operate through the holiday season in September. Zion’s service providers have all generously agreed to steeply discount their standby rates to accommodate Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), and Sukkot (Feast of the Tabernacles) holidays.

“We are grateful to our service providers for their willingness to partner with us in this effort,” expressed Dustin Guinn. “We believe this shows good stewardship, both financially and culturally.” Zion plans to resume operations on October 14 th , 2018 and recommence testing of the identified zones of interest."
