The Yom Kippur Scapegoat Was Crucified on the Cross

I am always amazed when I ask my fellow Jews about the Yom Kippur scapegoat, and they have no idea what I am talking about. Most recently, it was my own temple-going sister.

For those who don’t know much about Judaism — the religion into which Jesus was born and actively practiced —Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. Known as the “Day of Atonement,” it begins this year at sundown on Wednesday, October 1.
