An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man whips a member of
his Hasidic dynasty with a leather strap as a symbolic punishment for his sins
last year, during the traditional Malkot (whipping in Hebrew) ceremony, ahead
of Yom Kippur that begins at sunset, in the city of Beit Shemesh, near
Jerusalem, Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2021. Yom Kippur is Judaism's day of atonement,
when devout Jews ask God to forgive them for their transgressions and refrain
from eating and drinking, attending intense prayer services in synagogues.
