What people won’t think of…..
This photo was sent to YWN, and shows the latest item available for this upcoming Yomim Noraim. The item is a paper basket, which your chicken can be placed into while you do Kapparos. It is unknown where these baskets will be available, but it’s assumed that they will be at the Kapparos centers in Jewish communities.
Some think this is a wonderful idea, while others are disgusted.
We report – you decide.

We need Moshiach already!
People are just going out of their minds.
Finally Kosher Happy Meals!
If it’s bashert for a person to have some agmat nefesh and suffer a bit zol es ausgein on the goodies the kapparah showers on you. A rainhat/rainbonnet should suffice to save the hundreds (or for some thousands) of dollars on your head. If it goes on your clothing, may it be a kaparah…. gam zu letovah.
When Colonel Sanders goes kosher, his red-and-white buckets will be the only ones I will use to carry my chicken.
Perfect gift for the man who has everything.
You’re not yotzei when using these baskets as the chicken must be directly above your head without any mechitza in between.
looks like a leftover mishloach manos box! how creative.
Does it come with french fries?
Sort of like pre-packaged salt water and ash for tisha b’av seuda hamafsekes
It’s a recycled mishloach monos basket. Waste not want not. Just don’t recycle it the other way around.
It’s a chatzizah,
Dahak!!!
צער בעלי חיים This is a terrible thing
Perhaps reconsider the whole idea of using chickens. They are dirty, smelly and shlugging kaporos with a live chicken always raises concerns of tzaar ba’alei chayim. You can be yotzei your kaporos obligation using a fish, a goat or preferably just some silver coins.
6) Really? Its not like this is a Halacha l’moshe m’sinai.
