Grasping it by its crunchy feet, my father whirled the chicken in a circle 3 times above my head & that of my brother, reciting a prayer asking that all our sins & the divine punishments that would inevitably follow them be transferred to the chicken.

1st - I remember that Chicken in the bath story too from my mother's telling it...vaguely. I don't recall the why (I did get kicked out of Hebrew School for eating an ice cream cone and verbalizing my displeasure about it when my mother gave me money to buy it)
As for Chinese-Jewish relations, a friend of mine adopted a baby girl in China 13 years ago and is going to be a Bat Mitzvah this year. I have a side business of photography and I am photographing the event. I found a box of Kosher Fortune Cookies in Florida this week :D in a Take Out Box with Hebrew Style Writing. Fun, huh?
