Elie thinks god cannot help
Jews don't have churches - they have synagogues, and yes, they go to synagogue during Yom Kippur.
At the synagogue
The Day of Atonement is Yom Kippur (Leviticus ch.23). This is the holiest day in Judaism and the day where even secular Jews attend synagogue. On Yom Kippur, Jewish people fast from all food and drinks for a complete 25hrs, starting just before sunset the previous day.

Yom Kippur
The pronounciation of yom kippur is yum-kipp-her.
Yom Kippur is not a person or a country, it is a holiday. The Egyptians chose to invade Israel on Yom Kippur because of its solemnity. They expected the Israelis to be unprepared on Yom Kippur, which was indeed the case.
Elie feels a great void opening on Yom Kippur because his sense of faith has been shattered by the atrocities he witnessed in the concentration camps. The suffering and injustice he experiences lead him to question his beliefs and distance himself from his religion. This spiritual emptiness creates a feeling of despair and disconnection from his former self.
First, we want to make sure that you don't think that Yom Kippur is a month. Yom Kippur is a single day, in the Hebrew month of Tishrei. Elul (אלול) is the month preceding Tishrei and all the days in it, including Yom Kippur.
