Izrael: Kaparot, czyli przygotowania do święta Jom Kipur [GALERIA]

Kaparot  znaczy oczyszczenie z grzechów. To jeden z obrzędów święta Jom Kipur. W tradycji żydowskiej oznacza to, że człowiek, który uczynił nam krzywdę musi się z nami pogodzić. Jeśli osoba „poszkodowana” nie przyjmuje przeprosin, „szkodzący” ma możliwość usprawiedliwienia. Mężczyźni biorą białego koguta, kobieta białą kurę, trzykrotnie kręcą zwierzęciem nad głową. Ptak jest potem zabijany, a mięso przekazywane biednym. Czasem mięso zatrzymuje się na posiłek po Jom Kipur, a biednym przekazuje się wtedy równowartość pieniężną zwierzęcia.
