Kapparot, practiced by some Orthodox Jews, involves swinging a live chicken over one’s head three times and reciting a prayer to transfer sins to the bird.

There is not enough evidence to show that the ritual, in which a live chicken is swung over one’s head and then slaughtered, is a public nuisance, a state Supreme Court justice ruled.
