Ramban on Acharei Mot Kedoshim - Sa'ir LaAzazel
Rabbi Ezra Bick
We look at the two goats - one "to God" and one "to Azazel." They appear as part of the Yom Kippur service. Ramban sees this as a sensitive topic, with elements that can be confused with avoda zara. Ramban takes pains to say that it is not a sacrifice, though it may represent the sins of Israel.
