Ze'ev, A friend e-mailed this from Israel. It's probably from the Jerusalem Post: JERUSALEM (September 26) - Security forces in Eilat sprang into action yesterday morning to thwart what they thought might be a terrorist infiltration from Jordan on a motorized "ultralight" parachute. Instead, it turned out to be Rabbi Shimon Eizenbach, with two chickens and his pilot, intent on performing the ritual of kapparot - in which a chicken absorbs one's transgressions before Yom Kippur - on behalf of the residents of Eilat. Large numbers of police, soldiers, and border policemen prepared to shoot down the intruders, while efforts were made to establish contact with them by means of powerful megaphones. After about 20 minutes, the intruders landed, surrounded by security forces. To their surprise, Eizenbach disembarked holding a cage with a hen to atone for women and girls, and a rooster to atone for men and boys. Eizenbach and his pilot were taken to the police station, where they claimed they received permission for their flight from the control tower at Eilat Airport. They said they did not know they also had to inform the police and IDF. The police intend to press criminal charges against them for disturbing the peace, the police spokesman said. "Despite everything, I succeeded in carrying out the kapparot ritual above the city in a special, original way, and the residents of the city should be thankful for that," Eizenbach told Itim. The chickens were taken to the ritual slaughterer, in keeping with the kapparot tradition.
