Yom Kippur chicken-swinging ritual spurs two lawsuits in US

[Disir]

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.

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....

swinging a chicken is like swinging a three year old child-----the chicken has just as much fun as does the three year old.

When dealing with a religion 5700 years old, it has traditions that are kind of weird for the 21st century.

If you plan to toss a RWNJ around your head, make sure he is salted and dry out before you begin. The meat must be kosher, you know.

do you have any evidence that the chicken is rendered traumatized by the swinging?
Have you ever seen a chicken "swung"?
