The Torah is central to Judaism. The text, consisting of the Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, provides the basis for the 3,000-year-old religion, serving as a legal guide as well as a history of the Jewish people. The Torah contains 613 commandments, with the final one, to write your own Torah, appearing in Deuteronomy 31:19: “Now therefore write this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel.”

Rosh Hashanah is here which means Yom Kipur is around the corner and you know what that means? Time for the annual protests of the annual chicken swinging ritual known as kapparot. The generally fatal chicken “swinging” and slaughtering most often performed on the day before Yom Kippur (but can be held anytime between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur) and has some very vocal adversaries. Opponents, who this year advertised briefly in Times Square, aren't against the ritual so much as they're against the chicken killing.

It was a Rosh Hashana from hell for one Jew after he spent its first night in the custody of the NYPD, following a stupid altercation.
