Mishloach Manos, Kaparos and Tashlich, all in one day

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
