Sacrificing chickens to Satan

Kapparot is a bizarre ritual performed on the eve of Yom Kippor when chickens are sacrificed to Satan. The animal-rights groups PETA, estimate 50,000 chickens are killed in Brooklyn alone.

Rabbi

Dr. Israel Drazin, writes about the Kapparot ritual and how it orginated as a sacrifice to Satan in

his 2008 book Maimonides: The Exceptional Mind

"Many Jews currently practice the kapparot ceremony on the eve of Yom Kippur. A fowl is waved counterclockwise around the head of a man or woman and words are recited requesting that the person's sins be transferred to the fowl. "This is my exchange, my substitute, my atonement. This rooster shall go to its death, but I shall go to good, long life and peace." The rite concludes with the slaughtering of the fowl."
page 197

"Originally, the ceremony was seen as a bribe that was offered to Satan, similar to the Azzazel bribe described in Leviticus 16. A rooster was chosen because (1) it was an animal that was not allowed to be sacrificed to God, and therefore an appropriate sacrifice for a devil and (2) the masses thought that this bird resembled Satan: it had horns like Satan and its feet resemble the demon's feet. The rooster was slaughtered with the sacrificial formality of laying of hands so that it would be accepted as a suitable sacrifice/bribe by

Satan."

More Jewish authors confirming it's a ritual sacrifice to Satan

From 1970:

"... there can be no doubt that the Kapparot-ceremony, especially as it was performed in the earliest gaonic time with a horned animal, ram or goat, or with a rooster, was a revival of the ancient ritual of sending a goat to Azazel. And like the goat for Azazel it was a sacrifice to Satan."

Studies in Jewish Law, Custom, & Folklore. By Jacob Zallel Lauterbach

From 1975:

"The kapparot ceremony was originally, according to Lauterbach, part of the tashlikh ceremony now performed on Rosh haShanah. It consists of substituting fowl for humans: a rooster for a male, a hen for a female, or both for a pregnant woman....

Lauterbach discerns in older versions of the recitations and address to Satan and other fallen angels. "Such a ritual was tantamount to worshipping Satan by offering him a sacrifice and praying to him and could not, of course, be tolerated. It was incompatible with Jewish teachings, hence the total or partial rejection by it by various rabbinical authorities and the various attempts at charging or modifying it on the part of those who retained it."

The Jewish Year By. Isaiah Shachar

From 1976:

"And like the goat for Azazel it was a sacrifice to Satan, a sort of ransom or bribe sent to him to persuade him to desist from accusing the people whom he would claim as his prey"

Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion at One Hundred Years. By Samuel E. Karff

From 2003:

"...the kapparot is a ritual killing of an animal for expiatory purpose... the performance does look like a sacrifice intended for Satan"

Ultra-Orthodox Jews performing the "kapparot"

"The ancient [kapparot] ceremony involves swinging a live chicken overhead in a ritual transference of the person's sins in preparation for the day of atonement. It may be performed anytime between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur."

"Court rules 'kapparot' ritual violates animal slaughter laws", Amiram Cohen and Yair Ettinger,
Ha'aretz, September 18, 2007
https://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/904943.html

"An animal used as a sort of vicarious sacrifice on the day previous to the Day of Atonement. As a rule, a cock is taken by a male, and a hen by a female person, and after the recitation of Ps. cvii. 17-20 and Job xxxiii. 23-24 the fowl is swung around the head three times while the right hand is put upon the animal's head. At the same time the following is thrice said in Hebrew: "This be my substitute, my vicarious offering, my atonement. This cock [or hen] shall meet death, but I shall find a long and pleasant life of peace!" After this the animal is slaughtered and given to the poor, or, what is deemed better, is eaten by the owners while the value of it is given to the poor."
