even wholesale a live chicken cost more then $2 (not including the staff to help with Kapparos or the shechet)why do you guys have to knock every thing nice that people do to help others
may you all be blessed with a sweat happy and unsuccessful year
In order not to harm a live chicken this year, I think I’ll shlug kaporos using a PETA activist instead.
well technically the money may be gong to their pockets, but in a different way then u r saying,
all the money they raise goes to pay for their projects and salaries. so the money may pay their salary.
Re: Hecht. It seems you have a bias here, however, such comments might make you responsible to ask them Mechila on Erev Yom Kippur, and it certainly does not gain you a good Malach to plead YOUR case in Heaven!!
and the Hecht’s will use the chickens to feed the hungry girls of camp Emunah and the boys of Shelah and the money to their own pockets
“The Shechita will begin on Wednesday and is under the Hechsher of the CHK.”
Why assume their will be mishandling? These folks have been doing this for decades in all areas of brooklyn

Are you a vegetarian? If not, come off your high horse; these kapporos are shechted the same as any other chickens anywhere.
While live chickens for kapporos may not be your minhag, try not to knock a minag of thousnds of Yidden and gedolim throughout the ages.
Or you could just give $5 to Tzedakah in the merit of that individual and save yourself time and money on the gas traveling to Crown Heights. More so, it is likely incumbent upon all individuals to ensure that the Chicken they are using for Kapparos is not mishandled, remember the chicken is alive and thus if harmed could be Tzar Ba’ale Chaim. Nothing like Mitzvah h’bah b’averah right before Yom Kippur all in the name of being extra frum.
