( ) First-person story of a young Jewish boy, many years ago, who wanted to be good, but found it difficult. It is the eve of Yom Kippur, when Jews traditionally perform 'kapores', a ritual involving swinging a chicken around the head three times and then killing it, in order to remind people what they deserve for their sins against God. The boy is the one who discovers the chickens have gone on strike. The women try to bribe the birds, the men to threaten them, the rabbi to negotiate, but to no avail. The chickens want their rights! Before the villagers can attack the chickens, the boy encourages them to flee and be free. And the boy manages to become better, even without kapores. The final moral is that "customs come and customs go. All things change with time. I learned this from chickens." Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
