JERUSALEM : An Ultra-Orthodox Jewish man walks during the Kaparot ceremony in Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem on October 6, 2011. The Jewish ritual is supposed to transfer the sins of the past year to the chicken, and is performed before the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, the most important day in the Jewish calendar, which this year will start on sunset on October 7.
