Reissuing a Rabbinic statement (Kol Korei) that was first published seven years ago and that remains relevant today, Agudath Israel of America is calling upon the community to exercise care regarding the custom of kapporos before Yom Kippur.
“Given the size of the community, and the large volume of chickens that will be handled in the upcoming days, the practice of kapporos needs to be conducted in a manner that ensures that proper standards of kashrus, cleanliness, and humane treatment of animals, as defined by halacha, are met. This can be achieved by patronizing only those establishments that are under appropriate rabbinic supervision.”

מרדכי הצדיק !
@mordechai Schwartz. Where is your kappara stand? I’m Looking to go only to a place that is humane to animals.
Thank you for providing latex gloves.
Mordechai Schwartz, the oldest and most trusted name in kaporos. He doesnt annoy his neighbors with his smells and the chickens actually get shechted and eaten, not thrown in the garbage.
Go modche and dont forget us in Kol Aryeh.
