Honors are available for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Simchat Torah.
The list below is updated regularly.
KAPPAROT - כפרות
Kapparot is an important traditional ritual, that has been performed before Yom Kippur throughout the Jewish world for over 1400 years.
Whilst for many this ritual consists of the use of a chicken, many others have the custom of doing this with charity money that amounts to the value of a chicken (some use multiples of 18 - Chai), which is then donated in its place with the same result achieved.
This custom should ideally be performed at home, find the instructions and text HERE
For those who won't otherwise be performing this custom, we are offering to do this on your behalf on Erev Yom Kippur, visit www.dortikvah.org/kapparot to sign up.
The Laws of Yom Kippur
All activities that are forbidden on Shabbat are forbidden on Yom Kippur.
We are also obligated to afflict ourselves in five ways by abstaining from the following:
1. All eating and drinking
2. Any washing for pleasure (we wash only until our knuckles for Netilat Yadayim), soiled hands may be rinsed in cold water
3. Wearing leather footwear
4. The application of oils and creams to the body
5. Marital relations
