Redemption of Kaparot Atonement through Charity -- a Double Obligation

[lynchie3000]

"... 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."
