Take One: Yoma 61 and 62

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Yoma 61 and 62, are all about one of Yom Kippur's most intriguing rituals, that of sacrificing one goat while sending another into the wilderness. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin returns to explain the inner logic of the scapegoat, and why it still matters today. Why must both goats, the one sacrificed and the one set loose, be exactly identical? Listen and find out.  Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
