of G-d and his people (part2)

.

.
I decided to write a few essays covering the topic of our relationship with HaShem.I assume many of you will ignore them ,some of you will enjoy and that most of you could be offended.But know this I love G-d, perhaps not as you do; to me He is part of my family and as such subject to things "family".
On most Shabusim in many Askanaze* shuls there is a tradition to say Av Harachmem (a prayer for the extraction of revenge from our enemies). In my Shul as in many others when the Rebba is not there; on an occasion which may or may not need Av Harachmem to be said, Jews are ‘nohag’ to fight about it.

Well one week this summer the Rebba was upstate and it was one of those occasions, the gloves were off and most of the shul could NOT have cared less. But one guest kept yelling “No Av Harachmem, no Av Harachmem, this week there is no Av Harachmem”. And so keeping with tradition I broke into fight mode “Av Harachmem, Av Harachmem, this week there IS Av Harachmem”.

Guest’s Logic: That evening was going to be Tisha a’Bov and normally Tachnun (prayer for repenting) is not said on the day before Tisha a’Bov; since Av Harachmem is not said on a day Tachnun is not said, Av Harachmem was not to be said.

Me’s Logic: His math was correct aside for one over sight Tachnun is said when WE sin. Av Harachmem is said when HE sins, since it was right before the most destructive day of Jewish history we said the prayer.

*Yes Mar {garita}Gavriel I know Yeekas only say it on Shabus Chazon

There are people against Shluging Kaporos with a chicken. And I have always felt that the theory to abort this tradition due to its pagan nature is rubbish.
Plenty of our habits, laws and traditions mimic paganism and are not under fire.
And so for years I followed my ancestors in this high holy days’ ceremony.
Until this year . . .
NO LONGER WILL THERE BE THE SHLUGING OF CHICKENS IN AMSHINOV.
Because some "entrepreneur" left 200 chickens caged over Shabus, with no food or water on Nostrand avenue in Brooklyn. By Shabus morning most of them were dead.
One ecscaped and got caught in a sewer drain.
I’m no tree hugger but
TZAR BAH’LAY CHAIM is no small sin.
The Ari (a proponent of Shluging with chickens) never killed a fly, he allowed rodents to run free in his home, he would not rip a leaf off a tree.
WHAT WOULD HE SAY TO THIS?
You want pagan rituals , suffering animals is pagan.
