Chickens Strike

Catastrophic Chicken Strike Set to Hamper Repentance Efforts in Baltimore

Jews in Baltimore may be looking forward to the practice of Kapores, (ridding their sins by spinning a chicken above their heads), but many of the city’s chickens have had enough and are planning a strike. They are planning to protest in Cardin’s parking lot Friday at 2:30 right when dismissal is taking place and the bus with 9th/10th grade students will be leaving for their Shabbaton. The chickents want to draw as much attention to their plight as possible. Chicken Little, the new president of the Union of Kosher Chickens, told Rabbi Seltzer that “We are not going to take it anymore! We are going on strike! Down with Kapores! Freedom for fowl.” Chicken Licken told Mrs. Prince that “it’s bad enough they make us into soup and schmaltz and Shabbat dinner.” Henny Penny told Coach that she refuses to be used for Kapores anymore. As of blog time, not a single member of the Baltimore Jewish community reached out to a single chicken. Rabbi Seltzer said that the currently planned strike could mar this year’s repentance efforts and hopes that a resolution will be reached.
