Quote:Can non-Jews give Kapparot for Yom Kippur?
If not can they give kapparot on Rosh Hashanah?
The traditional Jewish Kapparot ceremony that is described in Shulchan Aruch and found in Jewish prayer books should not be practiced by Non-Jews, because it is not relevant for them. A Non-Jew can give proper charity at any time, including before Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur.
If a Non-Jew gives charity to a Rabbi or a Jewish charitable organization (including if they are collecting Kapparot donations), it is best if the donor includes the information that it's being donated by a Non-Jew, and that the charity money should be directed for the physical needs of poor people.
