Just bec it’s a minhag don’t mean we hav 2 stick to it. We hav minds. G-d gave us minds 2 think & make decisions. A minhag is just a tradition. All religions hav traditions. It’s just the way they got used 2 doin things 4 various historical reasons.

modernorthodox: The Reform agree with you!

Joseph:
I’m not surprised. Every sect of Judaism has some good points & useful ideas.
I would never consider doing kaparos with a chicken. It is an old outdated custom. You wouldn’t see a respectful person like a Senator waving a chicken over his head! This isn’t the 15th century. Besides chickens r filthy & prob filled with germs.
Joseph said,
modernorthodox: Did u ever ask ur Rabbi if SHE agrees with u?
Reform isn’t Jewish, even though sum of their adherents are personally non-practicing Jews.
