KAPPAROT
Make a difference with your Kapparot
This money will go to charity and I will go to a good, long and peaceful life."
The pre-Yom Kippur custom of kapparot involves waving a chicken, fish or sum of money over the head of each person in the family, which is later given to the poor. Our tradition teaches that we hope that in the merit of giving to tzedaka, we will be blessed with a good and pleasant new year-something desperately needed, especially after this last one.
By donating to American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B'ezri's Kapparot program, you will brighten the lives of poor families in Israel this High Holiday season at the most effective level possible. Our scrupulous management and efficient means of distribution enable us to maintain limited overhead and administrative costs, making us one of the most trusted Jewish charities in Israel. Over 96% of funds go directly to needy families!
Your kapparot donations will put food on their tables for the holidays and during the year, help with an overdue therapy or utility bill, provide a needy baby with formula, enable a parent to walk their child to the chuppah with dignity and bring relief in numerous other ways. We change lives thanks to you.
