Kapparot, the pre-Yom Kippur folk custom of swinging a chicken around one’s head as a way of purging sin, is one of those Jewish practices that doesn’t always, ahem, dovetail with 21st-century mores.
The ritual has often encountered clucks of disapproval, and this High Holiday season is no different. In the United States this year kapparot has been the subject of at least two lawsuits: an anti-kapparot suit filed by animal-rights activists in New York City and a pro-kapparot suit filed by a suburban Detroit Chabad congregation encountering red tape.

They worked hard to get those lines in.
It's part of what is often called Al Tashlichenu - casting away of sins. This is mentioned and prayed over in the Shma Koleynu, which is one of the deepest and most introspective prayers within Judaism and the only time in the year, if I recall correctly, when the Chazzan (Cantor) prostrates himself and sings in the lying-down position.
Many Jews these days go down to a river and cast bread crumbs into said river to symbolically cast away their sins. And the ducks are always very grateful for Yom Kippur. I did it this morning, as a matter of fact, on a small river not far from where I live.
The chicken over the head thing is just so, so, so, 1903, you know....
Its an ignorant archaic superstitious disgrace.....
You guys are such fucking hypocrites.

It is a very harmless little custom----some of this stuff just breaks
the monotony of the holiday------which does not involve the usual
PARTYING . Hanging your socks off the fireplace mantle
on Christmas eve is no better. The overwhelming majority of jews
do not engage in chicken swinging-------far more Christians get drunk
and violent on Christmas eve

Don't forget the little hat on the head...We should start a ritual, swing a goy around in the air
Maybe after the goyim toss we should go Jew jumping?
I heard they like it as much as the chickens love yom kippur......
do you have any evidence that the chicken is rendered traumatized by the swinging?
Have you ever seen a chicken "swung"?

be evaluated
