Yom Kippur and the Scapegoat

Day of Yom Kippur reveals the strong connection between the Jew and his Creator without limits and boundaries.

Every sin has two aspects – effect on the person & the existence of the sin itself.

Day of Yom Kippur atones for the person; the Scapegoat eliminates the existence of the sin. This is the dispute of רבי ורבנן, if the day of Yom Kippur itself atones.
