The book explores the annual cultural clash surrounding the Kapporos ceremony in Jewish neighborhoods, where a chicken is sacrificed before Yom Kippur. Animal rights activists protest, labeling the practice as "murder," while Orthodox and Hasidic Jews defend their religious freedom, accusing the activists of antisemitism. Amidst heated confrontations and name-calling, the narrative highlights the lack of understanding and communication between the two sides, revealing deeper themes of tradition, faith, and societal conflict.
