THE OLDEST KAPAROS CENTER IN LAKEWOOD

Mordechai Schwartz Kaparos is the oldest and most experienced Kaparos Center that Lakewood has. We started providing chickens to people in Lakewood before anybody else was doing it, and we have continued each year with our professional and ehrliche service. Talmidei Chachomim and Zekeinim have come to rely on us, giving us a hard-earned reputation as the place to get a kaparos before Yom Kippur.CONVENIENT LOCATION

Mordechai Schwartz Kaparos is conveniently located in the center of town, with ample parking at the facility. You can come, park, get your chickens for your family, and be out in a minimal amount of time, without having to wait for every step along the way.LI’CHATCHILA

The minhag of Kaparos was that a person took a chicken and gave it to a poor hungry person to eat. At Mordechai Schwartz Kaparos, the chickens are still used in the same way. They don’t get sold to the public with a portion going to Tzedakah, every single chicken is used at the Hachnasas Orchim and Bais Hatavshil of Lakewood, where poor and hungry people can receive a meal whenever they need it. Hundreds of people use this service all year, from Meshulachim to families undergoing a crisis, and your Kaparos chicken gives you this zechusim all year.GOVERNMENT APPROVAL

Mordechai Schwartz Kaparos works closely with the NJ Department of Agriculture and is in full compliance with all of their rules and guidelines. When various forces try to fight with the minhag of Kaparos, we know that the government has a relationship with us, and we can work with them to prevent trouble.The SPCA, which is an organization that tries its hardest to fight against this minhag of Kaparos, once came to Lakewood to stir up trouble. When they saw the operation of Mordechai Schwartz Kaparos, they were suitably impressed, claiming that they had never seen an operation run with such professionalism, sensitivity and cleanliness.WATCH THE SHECHITA AND PERFORM KISUI HADDAM

At Mordechai Schwartz Kaparos Center you can watch the shechita yourself. A Talmid Chochom who knows Hilchos Shechita can stay on top of the job, and even if you are just starting out learning these halachos, it is useful to have a look and see how it is practically carried out. Bring your children to watch this rare experience.

The special mitzva of Kisui Haddam is not all that common in our lives nowadays. Who doesn’t want extra zechusim in these holy days, and a rare mitzva will surely help us out on Yom Kippur.NO TREIF OR BOSSUR BI’CHOLOV FEED;

We only use kosher feed for our chickens from when the hatch till the Shechita process is finished.We bring in for Erev Yom Kippur Kaparos Shechita shoichtim from Monroe. Our Shochtim are experienced shoichtim TZA’AR BA’ALEI CHAIM

Mordechai Schwartz Kaparos Center is the only Center that hatches and grows the chickens on their own. They are fully in charge of preventing any possible Tza’ar Ba’alei Chaim and other halachic issues. At regular hatcheries, the workers are not aware, nor do they care about, our sensitivity to Hashem’s creatures, and they can mistreat them as they go about their work with the chicks. At this time when we are begging Hashem for mercy and compassion, we show compassion to His creatures by being extra careful about Tza’ar Ba’alei Chaim.THE PSAK OF THE LOCAL RABBONIM

Some years ago, the senior Rabbonim of Lakewood, including Reb Shlomo Miller, Harav Yaakov Forcheimer, Reb Shmuel Felder, Reb Osher Chaim Lieberman, Reb Chaim Meir Roth, and להבחל”ח Reb Shlomo Gissinger, signed a public letter with guidelines as to how to fulfill this minhag of Kaparos. Mordechai Schwartz Kaparos Center has been fulfilling these guidelines and more, long before they were issued, and they have the experience necessary to ensure that things are done correctly.MASHGIACH TEMIDI

Mordechai Schwartz Kaparos has a Mashgiach Temidi on site, not just at the place of waving the Kaparos and shechting, but also at the processing area, where chickens are plucked and kashered, to ensure the kashrus of each step along the way. This Mashgiach has years of experience in the field of Shechita, and we can trust him that things are done right, and mitzvos do not turn into aveiros.You want a health happy sweet new year, in the best possible way. Doing Kaparos in the best possible way is a sure step along the path to ensuring your happy health sweet new year, with brochos and shefa, riches and success, for yourself and all of your family.
