Rabbi Herschel Finman,
I: one of the event's orga-
nizers, waits for the next
customer while a trans-
action goes on nearby.

"We all do things throughout the
year to become better people. It puts
your attention on it a while — to
become a nicer, kinder person,"
Schwartz said, adding with a chuckle
that tashlich, the ritual of throwing
bread crumbs into a stream or river to
rid oneself of sins, is the "vegetarian
equivalent" of kapores. Tashlich is per-
formed between Rosh Hashanah and
L Yom Kippur.
Males use roosters and females use
hens. While saying a prayer, "This is
my exchange, this is my substitute,
this is my atonement. This (hen or
, rooster) will go to its death while I
will enter and proceed to a good long
life, and to peace," the person, hold-
ing the bird by the base of its wings,
twirls it three times over his or her
head. After the slaughter, the chicken's
,- blood is covered with dirt from a near-
by pail while a blessing is made.
"[The blessing] reflects the need to
respect life. Whenever life is stilled, we
( - recognize it has to be for a purpose
and that the only permission to take
the life of an animal is for need, rather
than sport," Bergstein said.

The event drew Jews of all stripes
— from the ultra-Orthodox to the
unaffiliated.
"This is by far the only thing in the
city that crosses all [denominational]
lines," Finman said.
"Brad," a junior lieutenant in the
U.S. Navy, came to kapores clad from
head to toe in camouflage.
"Hopefully, all my misdeeds, sins
and spiritual impurities go into the
chicken, it gets slaughtered according
to the laws of our Torah, and the
chicken gets eaten by a needy person.
So, it's a multi-purpose spiritual activi-
ty," he said.
Finman's 9-year-old daughter,
Hinda, attends kapores every year, but
she hasn't yet performed the ritual her-
self.
"I think it's kinda cool because you
only get to do it once a year," she said.
"But it's more fun when you hold it."
Not everybody maintained the
same kind of equanimity.
"It'll be an easy fast this year," one
man said as he uneasily left the
slaughtering shed. ❑
