TOPSHOT - An Ultra-Orthodox Jewish man swings a chicken over the heads of his family members as they perform the Kaparot ceremony in the Jewish neighbourhood of Beit Shemesh west of Jerusalem on September 28, 2017. The Jewish ritual is supposed to transfer the sins of the past year to the chicken, and is performed before the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, the most important day in the Jewish calendar, which will start this year on September 29 at sunset.
