Mishloach Manos, Kaparos and Tashlich, all in one day
The
original Minhag of Kaparos is a Teshuvas Hageonim,
brought down
by Rashi (Shabbos 81b).
“ Twenty two
days or fifteen
days before Rosh Hashana
they planted
for every child in the house a seed in a
flower
pot. On Erev
Rosh Hashana they swung the new
grown plant
over the head of the child and said Zeh
Chalifasi
etc. (Kaparos)
Afterwards
the plant gets to be thrown into the
river."(Tashlich)
The Pri Chadash writes that he personally sends Mishloach Manos
to poor people on Erev
Rosh Hashana because the
Navi says (Nechemya 8: 10 -12)
לכו אכלו משמנים ושתו ממתקים ושלחו מנות לאין
נכון
לכו
כל העם לאכול ולשתות ולשלח מנות
