An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man swings a chicken over this son’s head, as part of the Kaparot ritual, in which it is believed that one transfers one’s sins from the past year into the chicken, in the Ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak near Tel Aviv, Israel, Sunday, Sept. 23, 2012. The ritual is performed before the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish year which starts at sundown Tuesday. (AP Photo/Oded Balilty)
