Kapparot ritual ahead of Yom Kippur

Jews practicing the Kapparot ritual in the city of Bnei-Brak, a center of Haredi Judaism, ahead of the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, by waving a chicken which represents the sins they wish to cast away, over a person's head. The meat of the chicken, or money instead, is then given to the homeless or poor as an act of charity. Bnei Brak, Sep 20, 2023. Photo by Gideon Markowicz/TPS
