posts so far for Yom Kippur

2010
  1. Well, this first one from 2010, at least. I'm going to point out a bunch of my Yonah posts. First, Did the Malbim on Yonah predict an undersea river? I don't think so.
    .
  2. What was Yonah's message? A different parse yields a different message for Yanah to deliver.
    .
  3. Yonah and the Goldfish
    .
  4. Yonah's Rebellion and Yonah as Metaphor
    .
  5. On the etymology of the Hebrew word moznayim, scales

2009
  1. My theory about the runaway scapegoat -- that they let it run away deliberately.
    .
  2. Did the designated man live out the year? And what is the basis for saying he did not?
    .
  3. A defense of Rabbi Eleazar haKallir from Ibn Ezra's criticisms -- here and here.
    .
  4. The nusach for shlugging kapporos.

2008
  1. Two whole goats?! -- a post for Toledot, which touches on the idea that the two goats prepared for Yitzchak corresponded to the two goats on Yom Kippur.
    .
  2. From Acharei Mos, the Goral LaAzazal, and what it might mean.
2007
  1. Makom Kavuah, and Astro-turf. A short anecdote which teaches an interesting lesson.
    .
  2. And saying Selichot.
    .
  3. No greater days for Israel than Yom Kippur and Tu BeAv.
2006
  1. An important note for women shlugging kapparos using money -- a correction to the Artscroll nusach. Well, not so important. But a correction nonetheless.
    .
  2. All of Rif on masechet Yoma.
2005
  1. The goat to Azazel -- which may look like syncretism, but is really sending it off to a place. And I try to prove it.
    .
  2. Yonah's rebellion, and Yonah as metaphor -- and how Yonah recognizes that he is to serve as a lesson. And a bit on political correctness coming against academic integrity.
2004
  1. Aruch Hashulchan on (and against) kapparot, with my English translation.
