Ultra-Orthodox Jews Perform The Kapparot Ritual

An Ultra-Orthodox Jew carries chickens for the ancient ritual of Kapparot, meaning 'atonement' in Hebrew, before Yom Kippur, in Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, on Tuesday, September 14, 2021. The Kapparot ritual requires a person to recite prayers while swinging a chicken over one's head as symbolically transferring sins to the foul. Yom Kippur is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
