Yom Kippur-Kapparos

Every Year before Yom Kippur, there is a tradition to take a chicken and circle it over our head. As we do this, we say a prayer to G-d that we should be granted a good new year in the merit that we give the chicken to Tzedakah.  We went outside and Rabbi Okonov was there with two chickens - one for boys and one for girls. We had the opportunity to do Kapparos and the Rabbi circled the chickens over our head.  Many of us were brave and felt the soft feathers of the chicken.
