Kaparot

KAPAROT Taking a rooster (men), or a hen (women) in the right hand (alternatively one may use money), say the following paragraph three times: DIN 2a Children of men, those who sat in darkness and the shadow of death, Ps. 107 cruelly bound in iron chains — He brought them out from darkness and the shadow of death and broke open their chains. Some were fools with sinful ways, and suffered affliction because of their iniquities. They found all food repulsive, and came close to the gates of death. Then they cried to the Loro in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress. He sent His word and healed them; He rescued them from their destruction. Let them thank the LORD for his loving-kindness and His wondrous deeds for humankind. If there is one angel out of a thousand in his defense, Job 33 to declare his righteousness on his behalf, He will be gracious to him and say, “Spare him from going down to the pit; I have found atonement.” A man revolves the rooster around his head and says: noon im Let this be my exchange, let this be my substitute, let this be my atonement, let this rooster go to death while I go and enter a good, long life and peace. A woman revolves the hen around her head and says: noon xt Let this be my exchange, let this be my substitute, let this be my atonement, let this hen go to death while I go and enter a good, long life and peace. If money is used, then revolve the money around the head and say: nan te Let this be my exchange, let this be my substitute, let this be my atonement, let this money go to charity while I go and enter a good, long life and peace.
