A view to the jewish houses in Jerusalem's old city on Oct. 4,2011. Jewish celebrate Kapparot which begins by reciting a prayer and then spinning the bird over their head to release the sins accumulated over the past year, ahead of the high-holiday of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. After the Kaparot ritual is performed the bird is slaughtered and donated to charity. Photo by Mahfouz Abu Turk
