Chabad Houses Collect 'Kapara' Donations Ahead of Yom Kippur
As Yom Kippur approaches, Chabad Houses across Israel are organizing 'Kapara' (atonement) donation drives. This tradition involves the ritual slaughter of a chicken, with the money then donated to charity. Chabad is facilitating these donations, allowing individuals to contribute to the cause as a way to fulfill the custom before the Day of Atonement.
The initiative aims to provide support to Chabad's extensive network of emissaries and institutions, which often rely on public donations. The organization is encouraging participation in the 'Kapara' ritual as a means of both spiritual observance and charitable giving.
