Actually the proper way to do it is to then eat the chicken yourself (seuda hamafsekes) and donate it's value to the needy. When kapporos are sold by organizations for inflated prices, the part of donating the value to the needy is included.Another benefit of doing that when you have kids is giving them a little education about how to kasher meat, getting them to a realization that the chicken they eat isn't created in clean vacuum packed trays in the supermarket fridge.
That's gross. You can't eat it.
Why not?
Because it was dying on the highway with no legs. NO LEGS!!!how can you eat a chicken with no legs?
BREAKING NEWS: New York's highest court rejects animal rights activists' attempt to force NYC to end the use of chickens as kaporos.http://www.nycourts.gov/reporter/3dseries/2018/2018_07694.htm
First time I've seen kaporas protesters in CLE. It was intimidating to be photographed with the family, but I'm sure there will come a day when bris milah and other mitzvahs are given the same treatment.
Maybe we should start waving Impossible Bugers over our heads instead?
Go with the bag of money.
Why did you find it intimidating? Let those idiots waste all their time energy and money.
You really don't understand why it's intimidating to have a bunch of protesters and cameras pointed at you?I'm a Jew and I'm proud, but that doesn't mean I never feel intimidated.
Would you be intimidated if it were a bunch of 3 year olds with cameras pointed at you?
Let those idiots waste all their time energy and money.
You are swinging a chicken over your head and they are the idiots?
You are swinging a chicken over your head and they are the idiots!
Can say the same thing about shechita, bris milah, mikvah, kosher, not using a phone on Shabbos, or 600 other things we do.
Wouldn't you feel like an idiot if you would be standing for hours pointing cameras at people swinging chickens over their head that couldn't care less about you?
