Wide of people in street STORYLINE: Ultra-Orthodox Jews selected chickens to be used in the Kaparot ritual in Jerusalem on Wednesday. Observant Jews believe the ritual transfers one’s sins from the past year into the chicken and is performed before the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish year which starts at sundown Sunday. "It's a symbolic ritual, basically we did a lot of sins this year so we're symbolically showing that we want this chicken to be instead of us, in place of us, and than afterwards we give the money to charity and that should atone for our sins" said a local in the ultra- Orthodox neigborhood of Mea Shearim. Israel’s ultra-Orthodox, known as haredim, make up 13% of the country’s 9.7 million population. The cloistered community has long been at odds with the secular majority, clashing over military conscription, their integration into the workforce and the basic tenets that guide their lives. Haredi Jews in Israel also are growing faster than any other group, at about 4% annually. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
