Early Shortage of Kapparos

Wednesday's Kapparos in Crown Heights ended early due to a shortage of the subsidized chickens. People who came after 7 PM were turned down. A few hundred more arrived after 9 PM. "Baruch Hashem we ran out," NCFJE told COLlive. Photos

True the Rebbe strongly encourages ..But, know this . The Rebbe would not treat them any less, or judge them any harsher. That is why he is The Rebbe and you are merely human looking for fault. It would be best if you would take care of your own garden and stay out of others. Do you not think that is what the Rebbe wants, he certainly does not want you berating people ..

Soon will be the Day of Judgement for All Jews and Others..why do so many go into it judging others when they know nothing of who they judge. It is only for G-d who knows all and sees all and judges all and when we meet in Heaven and we all learn about the ones we judged and saw the true beauty within in their souls, the sacrifices, pains and so on..we shall be in awe of them and ashamed of ourselves.. G-d be with us all and change the world for a better place and let no man judge… Read more »

true, but there are very specific laws in how to go about such a thing. not to say i’m a halachic expert, but i don’t think this is the way to do it!

I think that you are forgetting that it says Hocheach tocheach ess amisecha,, I am in no way judging the women who wore tichels to Kaporos,, I wish I could do the same,,,, But when a person is quiet about the tznius in CH,, it is “Shtikah K’hodaah… ” Nuff said?

WOO HOO
September 24, 2009 9:34 pm

Calling the entire Kol Tuv family,, I brought my kids up to Eastern Parkway so that my kids could see the chickens. We will actually do Kaporos on Sunday at 5 am. It was so cool to see the Kol Tuv contingent,, and those I didnt see in person, I see in pictures,, Yakov Shimon,, UR my hero!!! Chaim Berns,, I miss you,,, Mendel D… U were so cute with Kaporos,, To all my friends, (And the rest of Klal Yisroel) I wish you ah Gut Gebentched Yuhr…..

first of all, what horrible things? kapparos is something instituted by rabbonim so obviously its not so horrible unless u start looking at it from the secular side of view which i suppose youre not!!!!!

everyone should hold their own and stop being CHICKEN!
September 24, 2009 7:11 pm
to all those complaining about the tznius
September 24, 2009 7:06 pm

first of all, it’s sad to see how people look for the negetive! and secondly, are you forgetting one of the fundamentals of lubavitch?? ahavas yisroel! and with that comes the idea of not judging some one else. every person is different, and everyone has thier struggles. so instead of bad-mouthing people, specificly the rebbe’s kinder- and yes they are the rebbe’s children!- do more good to bring moshiach when all of our obsticals will vanish!!!
MOSHIACH NOW!!!!!!

go rosy your the cutest
i love you

I chickened out!
September 24, 2009 5:17 pm

I wore a sheitel (I always do.) And the nice Bochur working there who helped me, put my chicken in a box. And he swung the box over my head at the appropriate parts. No fuss, no mess!

BTW…it is nice to tip the guys who help people by handling the chickens for them. To the bochur in the chicken-stained plaid shirt… thank you for being so courteous & helpful…I should have asked your name so I could make your mother proud!

Don’t be silly. The woman has an obligation not to show.
She can’t walk around like a **** and tell the men “you shouldn’t be looking”.

Anyway, the problem is not just men, but the churban it makes of our kids who see them.

September 24, 2009 3:06 pm

do you want you new sheitel, or sheitel that you paid good money on to have cleaned for Rosh Hashana, pooped on by a chicke? i certainly dont.
you shouldnt be looking at the pics of the women anyway.

September 24, 2009 2:19 pm

why when the Rebbe strongly encouraged women leaving house with ONLY shaitel, was there many women dressed in tichels, at a communual, public event, especially in CROWN HEIGHTS, REBBES SHECHUNA, with hair showing no less.
