What is Kaparot?
by Rabbi Naftali Silberberg
Kaparot: Rite of Atonement
The countdown to Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement
is on, with only two days left. And as this countdown
progresses, the clucking of chickens can be heard everywhere
in Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods. These chickens set the
stage for an ancient Jewish ritual connected with Yom
Kippur—Kaparot.
It is customary to perform the rite of Kaparot (symbolic
“atonement”) on the day preceding Yom Kippur.
Preferably, kaparot should be done in the early pre-dawn
hours of the day before Yom Kippur. (If it is not possible to
do so then, the rite may be performed earlier).
The custom of kaparot is an ancient one1, and was
established as a reminder of the goat that the High Priest
recited confession over on behalf of the Jewish People.
That goat was sent to Azazel2. However, in order to ensure
that the practice does not resemble a sacrifice in any way
(since sacrifices are forbidden outside of the Holy Temple),
a chicken is used -- since chickens were not offered on the
altar.
The rite consists of taking a chicken -- a male takes a
rooster and a female takes a hen -- and waving it over
one's head three times while the appropriate text (found
in the Siddur or Machzor) is recited. The fowl is then
slaughtered in accordance with Halachic procedure. The
monetary worth of the kaparot is given to the poor, or as
is more popular today, the chicken itself is donated to a
charitable cause.
prescribed verses and giving the money to charity. There is
no prescribed dollar amount; the donation should be
according to one's financial abilities.
Though the word kaparot means "atonement," one should
not think that kaparot itself serves as a source of
atonement. Rather, we ask G-d that if we were destined to
be the recipients of harsh decrees in the new year, may
they be transferred to this chicken in the merit of this
charity. Furthermore, (many find the rite of kaparot very
disturbing, and that is exactly the point), the mortality of
the chicken should remind us of our own mortality and
inspire us to correct our past and value our future.
[Even children, who are devoid of sin, do kaparot, since
they, too, are sometimes the recipients of harsh heavenly

The prayers of Yom Kippur ...
Kol Nidre
On the eve of Yom Kippur while there is still daylight,
Jews congregate all across the globe wearing white. They
don their tallitot (prayer shawls) and Kol Nidre is chanted
with a sense of emotional anticipation and a centuries-old
feverishly moving melody.
Dating back until at least the ninth century, Kol Nidre, at
first glance, seems to have nothing at all to do with Yom
Kippur. Indeed, it appears to attempt to release one from
keeping his oaths and vows. Many commentators address
this issue and their main approach seems to be that Kol
Nidre, in actuality, emphasizes the importance of keeping
one’s word and reaffirms our belief of honoring our
commitments. How appropiate, as we enter a day when we
will be saying over and over how we plan to change and do
teshuvah.
Over the
years various
versions of
the Kol Nidre
have been
adopted ...
Indeed, the version found in most
siddurim actually contain parts of
each version. This stems from a
machlokes (halachic dispute) over
whether Kol Nidre is to annul
vows from the past year
(Babylonian traditional) or to
declare annulled all vows of the
coming year (European tradition,
tosofot).
prayer became a regular part of the prayer services during a
time of fasting or tragedy. Today, it is said fast days and
during the ten days of repentance. On Yom Kippur, during
Neilah, the word ketiva, inscribed is replaced by chatima,
sealed, because in the Neilah prayer G-d seals our fate for
the coming year.
Viduy
Confession, is an essential part of repentance. Repentance
cannot be just a fleeting thought like other thoughts that
come and go in a person’s mind. By confessing one’s sins
out loud, it becomes something much more real. A person
must come to the complete understanding that the sins he
committed are wrong and cannot be rationalized away.
The two forms of confession, Al cheit and Ashamnu,
alphabetically list all types of sins. The Al cheit, prayer
lists many sins or categories of sins that are commonly
committed. Sins are expressed in the plural not only to save
individuals from embarrassment but so that the
congregation as a whole might attain true atonement. One
cannot confess only for oneself, rather one has to beg
forgiveness for all Jews who sin. As the Rav Issac Luria,
The Shema
16 Century Kabbalist, wrote that confession is written in

The prayers continued ...
If you read the Al cheit carefully, you will see that the list
of sins is not a list of the Mitzvot. Rather, it is a list of
categories of sins that are the most common. Many relate
to our misuse of speech and having the wrong type of
thoughts or attitude. Some have to do with more concrete
mitzvot like shabbat or Kashrut. All relate to us in way or
another. Of course, one should not feel limited to confess
only the list of sins printed in the siddur, one should
mention viduy any specific sins which he or she may have
committed. It is customary to gently beat one’s chest
during the viduy, as if to say that your heart may have led
you astray in the past but hopefully, this will not happen in
the future.
On Yom Kippur, yet a fifth service (the only day of the
year with 5) is added. The extra service unique to Yom
Kippur is called Neilah.
Village Elder will speak before the Neilah service to
inspire the congregants to pray more fervently. In many
congregations he will himself lead the service instead of
the cantor - again - expressing the hightened sence of
urgency.
The Aron HaKodesh (Holy Ark that contains the
congregation's Torah scrolls) is kept open for the entire
service. Those able to stand up for the entire time, do so.

Y
om Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the
most sacred of the Jewish holidays, the
"Sabbath of Sabbaths."
By Yom Kippur the 40 days of repentance, that begin with
the first of Elul, have passed. On Rosh Hashanah G-d has
judged most of mankind and has recorded his judgement in
the Book of Life. But he has given a 10 day reprieve.
On Yom Kippur the Book of Life is closed and sealed. Those
that have repented for their sins are granted a good and happy
New Year.
Since Yom Kippur is the day to ask forgiveness for promises
broken to G-d, the day before is reserved for asking
forgiveness for broken promises between people, as G-d
cannot forgive broken promises between people.
According to the Talmud the
Yom Kippur is a day person "who eats on the ninth
of Tishri (and fasts on the
of " Not Doing “ ... tenth) , it is as if he had fasted
both the ninth and tenth."
There is no blowing of the
Prayer is also down played so
Shofar and Jews may not eat that Jews can concentrate on

fast.
It is believed that to fast on
Yom Kippur is to emulate the
angels in heaven, who do not
eat, drink, or wash.
The Five
Prohibitions of
Yom Kippur:
1. 1. Eating and
drinking
2. 2. Anointing
with perfumes
or lotions
3. 3. Marital relations
4. 4. Washing
5. 5. Wearing leather shoes
Yom Kippur:
Wearing white at prayer services: The
Talmud emphasizes that white is the color of
merit, rather than guilt. Wearing white
shows faith in the Judge of Judges to arrive
at a true judgement.
On the eve of Yom Kippur the community
joins at the synagogue. Men put on prayer
shawls (not usually worn in the evenings).
Then as the night falls the cantor begins the
"Kol Nidre", it is repeated 3 times, each time
in a louder voice. The Kol Nidre emphasizes
the importance in keeping vows, as violating
an oath is one of the worst sins.
An important part of the Yom Kippur
service is the "Vidui" (Viduy) or confession.
The confessions serve to help reflect on ones
misdeeds and to confess them verbally is
part of the formal repentance in asking Gd's forgiveness. Because community and
unity are an important part of Jewish Life,
the confessions are said in the plural (We
are guilty).
As Yom Kippur ends, at the last hour a
service called "Ne'ila" (Neilah) offers a final
opportunity for repentance. It is the only
service of the year during which the doors to
the Ark (where the Torah scrolls are stored)
remain open from the beginning to end of
the service, signifying that the gates of
Heaven are open at this time.
The service closes with the verse, said 7
times, "The L-rd is our G-d." The Shofar is
sounded once and the congregation
proclaim - "Next year in Jerusalem."
Yom Kippur is over.

While Yom Kippur is devoted
to fasting, the day before is
devoted to eating.

Traditions for the pre-fast meal ...
Laws and Lore:
Pre-Fast Meal
After the afternoon Minchah Prayer, the concluding meal,
is eaten. The meal can be eaten at any time but must be
concluded while it is still day i.e., before sunset - since one
is required to "add" to the fast by beginning while it is still
day. This addition to the fast has no minimum amount of
time prescribed by the Torah.
It has become customary to finish this meal at least half an
hour before sunset so that one has enough time for an
unhurried, heartfelt recitation of the Grace after Meals,
and for arriving at the synagogue in time for Kol Nidre,
which is also recited before sunset.
one should eat only light foods.
After the meal is finished, Psalm 126, which precedes the
Grace after Meals, is recited fervently, in the
acknowledgment that we have not yet merited the final
redemption.
Eating Before Yom Kippur
It is a mitzvah to eat and drink heartily on Erev Y om
Kippur. Our Sages write: The Torah (Leviticus 23:32)
states: A nd you shall afflict your soul on the ninth of the
month in the evening.
Although it is commendable to eat fish at the morning
meal, it is customary not to do so at this meal. One should
not drink intoxicating beverages, for were he to become
drunk, his prayers would be an abomination. Optimally,

A Break-the-Fast Feast
Recipes to fill your Yom Kippur buffet, including bagels and spreads, kugel, and blintzes, plus egg dishes and sweet options
Y
om Kippur is a fasting holiday and Jewish law prohibits any work until the end of the day, which makes for
a rather unique culinary challenge: What can a hungry person do when cooking isn't allowed?
In North America, it's customary to break the fast with a comforting, easy-on-the-stomach meal featuring dishes
that can be prepared ahead and either reheated or eaten at room temperature. While there are no rules about
what can and cannot be consumed, it's common to serve dairy-focused dishes—rather than meat-based ones—
because many people find them easier for empty bellies to digest. A typical spread includes bagels with smoked
fish and cream cheese, baked casserole-style dishes like strata and kugel, blintzes, and assorted cookies and
cakes. We recommend preparing a few different options, and we've gathered tons of classic and creative recipes
to help you plan the ultimate post-fast feast. So, browse our picks for bagel toppings, egg dishes, kugel, blintzes,

Technology to the Rescue
On the afternoon before Kol Nidre,
Sidney telephoned his rabbi.
“Rabbi, I know tonight is Kol Nidre, but
tonight the Red Sox are in the playoffs.
Rabbi, I’m a life-long Sox fan. I’ve got to
watch the Sox game on TV.”
“Sidney, that’s what VCRs are for.”
“Wow—thanks! You mean I can tape Kol Nidre?”
Have No Fear, You’re Not Lost
Meyer and Judith, an elderly Jewish couple, were traveling
together to the Far East. Suddenly, over the aircraft’s
speaker system, the captain announced, “Ladies and
gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our
engines have developed a problem, and we need to put this
plane down in a few minutes’ time. The good news is that I
can see an island below us that should be able to
accommodate our landing. The bad news is that this island
appears to be uncharted—I am unable to find it on our
maps. So the odds are that we will have to stay on the island
for a long time before any rescue comes, if ever.”
Meyer turns to Judith, “Judith, dear, did we turn off the
oven?”
“Of course.”
“Are our life insurance policies paid up?”
“Of course.”
“Did we pay our pledge for the Kol Nidre appeal?”
“Oh my God, I forgot to send off the check.”
“Thank Heavens! They’ll find us for sure!!”
So Isaac went down to Moishe's and
found that the ownership had changed.
He asked the new owner, Mr.
Christopher, if he was keeping the old
prices. Mr. Christopher assured him that
he did.
Three days later, Isaac went to get his
tallit and is presented with a bill for
$24.00. He was furious.
"I thought you said you were keeping Moishe's prices?"
"I did," said Mr. Christopher, "$4.00 for the cleaning, and
$20.00 to get all the knots out of the fringes!"
A Day Like Purim
The Kelemer maggid asked: "Why is the Day of Atonement
called in Hebrew yom ha-kipurim (a day like Purim)?
And he gave this answer: "The similarity between the two
days is based on the fact that on both days it is customary
to masquerade. On Purim Jews masquerade and don the
costumes of non-Jews. On the Day of Atonement, they
masquerade as pious Jews."—Philip Goodman, "Hasidic Tales
and Teachings," The Yom Kippur Anthology, (JPS, 1992)
Memory Lapse
Just before Sukkot services began, Moshe went to see his
rabbi. “Rabbi, I feel bad because I didn’t fulfill a mitzvah—
last week I missed saying grace after a meal.”
“What happened to make you forget?” asked the rabbi.
“And I also didn’t wash my hands before the meal.”

After Rosh Hashanah was over, there was time before Yom

Max said, "I always take my tallit to Moishe the dry cleaner
