This symbolic “atonement” rite, conducted in preparation for Yom Kippur, involves waving a live chicken over one&#8217;s head three times while reciting the appropriate text.   The chicken is then slaughtered in accordance with halachic procedure, and its equivalent monetary value is [...]]]></description>
