The eScapegoat: A Modern Take on the Biblical Yom Kippur Ritual

This humorous, animated video introduces the eScapegoat – a modern take on the biblical ritual where the sins of the nation were symbolically transferred to a goat, who was then sent off to the wilderness on Yom Kippur to atone for the Jewish people. To participate in this new age ritual, visit the eScapegoat website, where you can offload your sins and then send the goat along to others. The eScapegoat is a project of BimBam, the non-profit studio that brings Jewish texts to life through animation and apps for kids, adults and educators
