#360 Chicken Kapparot this year
Question
Rabbi, it has been the custom of my family to do kapparot with a live chicken. This is a custom I have kept since moving to Toronto. This year however, with the demise of Chai Chicken, I am at a loss as to where and how to keep this custom. Is someone else going to provide this service?
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a suggested you and maybe other friends who share the same predicament can acquire a live chicken (on a quick web search they average $10.00) and then take it to one of the Shochatim. He also ruled that if you change your Minhag to using fish or money, you do not have to make Hatoras Nedorim.
