Talk:Kapparos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Suggested Move

I suggest this page be moved to Kaparot, in accordance with consensus achieved at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Hebrew). If noone objects, I will move the page. --Eliyak TยทC 19:30, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I object, no consensus has been achieved, Ashkenazi Hebrew no worse than Sephardi Hebrew, so unless you're planning to move Humor to Humour or vice versa, do not move this article either. - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:18, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I Object. Kapparos is now as much a Yiddish word as it is Hebrew. The custom is Ashkenazi (Sephardi Rabbis opposed the custom vociferously; i.e. Joseph Caro in Shulchan Aruch, et al.) and was certainly pronounced "Kapparos" for hundreds of years. And it's probably safe to say that most who still practice the ritual today say Kapparos not Kaparot. --Kotzker 02:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
