1. Take responsibility for your own sins, don't add to them

Otherwise, you're no different from our enemy extremists. Hurting animals brings you closer to Satan, not God.

2. Does Torah allow Kapporot?
Where in Torah is a chicken a legitamate 'sacrifice; animal? Calf, Bull. Lamb, goat, pigeon...no chicken.

3. OOops... not pedgeon...doves(end)

4. Time to abandon this foolish custom

A primitive custom which causes animals to suffer, is long overdue to be abandoned. As the respected rabbanim teach, giving charity to the needy is far better

6. Source of ritual

The Aruch HaShulchan states that the source of using kapporot is from paganism, and should be stopped. In addition, anyone who acts to stop this ritual in their community, he will personally defend them in Shamayim. Pretty strong words, and not a bad defensive attorney.

7. Kapparot

Why not put on rubber gloves and dump those sins on piglets? They're not allowed to be eaten by Jews and maybe porkchops or bacon will give a few lousy Gentiles serious cases of the runums :-)

8. #5, still denying intelligent design in the 21st century?

11. Jake, far from design and creation. An accident only.

Give up, the truth is out and is getting stronger through proofs every day. It was an accidental Big Bang, kapish? The kapparot are getting weaker along with arguments about intelligent design that are still made by stupid humans. Time to join the majority and to show you know something.

12. completely agree. Stop 'scapegoat the chicken
Time to right a wrong and ban it. This custom should be reinterpreted metaphorically. We should be cleaning ourselves of sin, not inflicting pain on defenseless animals.

that "torah Judaism" based thinking produces INCORRECT livestock handling. This is not a question of morality. This is a question of knowing the difference between up and down. Yeshiva students should be REQUIRED to spend a semester at Kansas State University or Texas A&M to come up to speed on these matters.

16. End result ?

Whether you use money or fowl, the end result is charity for the poor. What would a poor person prefer? Money to buy food prior to the Fast, or a chicken which has received all someone else's sins?

Kapporot is NOT a sacrifice as set out in the Torah. That is why we can use only an animal that could not become a sacrifice. Outside the Temple one cannot bring a sacrifice.
