Sunday: $5 Chickens for Kaporos by NCFJE
Subsidized chickens for the traditional Kaporos ritual will once again be made available for Crown Heights residents by the NCFJE.
The chickens will be available Sunday, September 20, from 1:00pm to 8:00pm in the parking lot of Beis Rivkah High School on Montgomery Street between New York and Nostrand Aves.
“Every year we get regards from dozens and dozens of families who literally could not afford to spend an extra dollar. They simply would not be able to observe the minhag if not for these discounts,”Rabbi Shea Hecht, Chairman of NCFJE and a noted Crown Heights activist, told CrownHeights.info.
When Rabbi JJ Hecht, OBM, the late Chairman of NCFJE, facilitated large-scale observance of Kaporos in the early 1970s, the Rebbe gave him much encouragement and asked for details of the operation, including the number of birds sold, the expenses, shechita and who took part.

Is this a mistake with the location?

The sunday kaparos are being advertised at Bais Rivkah’s parking lot. I assume the erev Yom Kippur Kaparos will still be in front of NCFJE.
Does the Oylam understand the hardships that the NCFJE deal with? The Peta people are giving them tzoros non stop. they have been campaigning against the NCFJE for years and getting more insistent.
It is so sad that they do not flinch at the loss of lives all around the world but for chickens that are being slaughtered by a shochet (which is the least painful) and the chicken is thus fulfilling it’s purpose with the least pain possible, this is what they obsess about?!
Don’t they know that way back G-d allowed the slaughter of a Ram – when G-d stopped Abraham from shechting Yitzchok a Ram was then offered instead.
Maybe the Peta people should build a tower and go up to G-d and protest – after all we are constantly talking about this – every single day in our prayers we refer to this….
Let them go talk to G-d – it would serve us all well.
If they would connect with G-d they would benefit and so would the rest of us…
Gmar chassima tova.
