Description
as it written in Wikopedia:

"Kaparot is a traditional Jewish religious ritual that takes place on the eve of Yom Kippor . Classically, it is performed by grasping a live chicken by the shoulder blades and moving around one's head three times, symbolically transferring one's sins to the chicken. The chicken is then slaughtered and donated to the poor, preferably eaten at the pre-Yom Kippur feast.

In modern times, Kapparot is performed in the traditional form mostly in Orthodox communities. Members of other communities tend to perform this ritual with charity money substituted for the chicken, swung over one's head in similar fashion."
