she recommends fasting from
something other than food to
observe the holiday.
“I do have clients who
have a variety of issues so we
may decide to handle a Yom
Kippur ritual in a different
way — fasting such as taking
a break from technology for
the day,
” she said. “Maybe we
cut out a meal
or portions of a
meal.
”
The end of
fasting on Yom
Kippur is usually
marked by the
consumption
of break-fast foods, which
might include bagels,
crackers, crustless bread
and cheese. Feldman, who
plans to fast for Yom Kippur,
realizes people are hungry
and thirsty after the fast and
may over consume food and
drink, but that it’
s best not to
overindulge.
“I would start with fluids.
Drink before you eat,
” she
said. “Just eat slowly and pace
yourself.
”
Instead of gorging at the
“break-fast,
” consider packing
a doggy bag of food to enjoy
later, she said.
And though intermittent
fasting has become a
popular method of shedding
pounds, Feldman said it’
s not
something she recommends
to the clients she sees since it’
s
not something she feels can be
sustained long term.
However, fasting done in
observance of Yom Kippur for
those who are healthy poses
no health risks.
“No profound, long-lasting
metabolic event happens
when you fast once a year,
”
she said. “It is safe to do if
you don’
t have any underlying
medical conditions.

can be given to the poor with-
out touching a chicken. Some
people recite the kapores
phrase over coins.
Daniel Shlomo Jacobovitz
of Oak Park says that, “If I do
it at all, it is on money only.
”
Former Detroiter Nathaniel
Warshay of Jerusalem has
been doing kapores for 17
years, but always with money:
“One dollar for each member
of the family.
”
Chana Finman first
encountered kapores when
she was 17, a student in a
Brooklyn school dedicated to
helping young women learn
traditional Judaism. “I did my
duty but was shocked. How
could I do this?”
She says she always thanked
the chicken for the sacrifice,
so she could feel “some prepa-
ratory dread before the Great
Day of Judgment.
”
She lived in Melbourne,
Australia, after she got
married where sophisticat-
ed people participated in
kapores. “When we came to
Oak Park, I wanted to set it up
in an organized way, as well”
she says.
So Finman and her hus-
band, Rabbi Herschel Finman,
both of Jewish Ferndale,
“worked very hard doing
just that for 25 years. All my
children got involved assisting
people from all walks of life
who wanted to do this.
