In the Kaporos tradition observed during Yom Kippur, community plays a crucial role through communal participation and charity. This ritual involves swinging a live chicken or money above one’s head as a symbolic act of transferring sins. It underscores the themes of atonement and forgiveness, emphasizing community support in seeking spiritual cleansing. Families and neighbors come together to perform this tradition, often donating to charitable causes afterward, reinforcing the communal bond. Kaporos fosters empathy and compassion, as participants reflect on their actions and strive for personal growth.
