Anti-Schechita and Anti-Kapparos Legislation in New York State Legislature Covid Environment

Albany…There are bills moving through the state legislature that may affect kaporos (the pre-Yom Kippur ritual of praying for life – with chickens) in New York and Schechita (kosher slaughter) as a whole. It is being proposed because in China, Covid-19 was spread in animal markets that slaughter on premises. Sentences like “Prohibition of the operation of establishments where animals and/or fowls are slaughtered for food.” and “the Commissioner shall immediately suspend the license of any person, firm, partnership or corporation that currently holds a license issued by the Commissioner to operate any place or establishment where animals and/or fowls are slaughtered or butchered for food.”

The big question is whether Covid will be an excuse to curtail the ritual of Kaporos where chickens are used prior to Yom Kippur. Even more disconcerting is language in bills that would ban schechita. Sources told Kosher Today that “the bills do not appear to have any serious traction, but vigilance is required nonetheless.” Kosher Today

  1. Kaporess shouldn’t be a problem. Put them on a mask which will protect all those using the kaporess. The maskers here would certainly agree.

  2. Most slaughter houses left New York State years ago because of over regulation and Union demands. This cost NY!

    Now they want to ban the business out right! Crazy liberal Dumb-ocrats!

  3. I have heard that some people are using money for Kaporos? Can this be so? If there is such a heter it should be mefursom and broadcast over the radio.

    • Kaporos with chicken is al pi kabalah which is why chassidim are very makpid if possible.

      Look at the hypocrites. “According to WHO, every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day.” Hitler ym”sh was also more concerned about saving dogs over people.

  4. JUST PUT A MASK ON EVERY CHICKEN. I’M SURE THAT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND I BET YA CUOMO AND DEBLASION WILLAGREE WITH THAT.

  5. Just tell the governor that we are only schechting white “supremacist” chickens and then Kaporis with a shechita will be endorsed.
