Ynet – Dozens of animal rights activists protested Thursday in Petah Tikva against the use of live chickens in the Jewish custom of Kapparot, in which one swings a live chicken or a bundle of coins over one’s head three times during the days before Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, so as to transfer one’s sins to a chicken or to the money, which is given to charity.
Protesters carried signs reading “Mitzvah from the Torah?” and “I’m not your repentance,” and waved banners with pictures of chickens.
