Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur   Leviticus 16

This week's portion is actually for the day of atonement

Background:  Aaron's two sons have just died after attempting to worship Hashem without permission.


Thou shall worship me with care
in my time, when I say, and where.

Two goats shall you have for sacrifice
one for the Lord; one will keep it's life.

Random choice will you make
as to which goat I will take.

A scape-goat will the other one become
All Israel's sins to go under it's tongue.


To the wilderness it's brought, then free'd
gone for our people, to Azazel.  It's gone to Hell.


Yet this week we also read
tales of Jonah, the whale, and how he finally heeds.
