***IN A NUTSHELL***
*Aḥarei Mot* describes the service of the high priest on Yom Kippur. It was a dramatic and powerful ceremony during which he cast lots on two identical goats, one of which was offered as a sacrifice and the other sent into the wilderness. This is where the idea of a “scapegoat” comes from. Then the high priest entered the Holy of Holies, which was the spiritual high point of the Jewish year. The *parasha* also details more of the laws of holiness, such as the prohibition against eating blood and the laws of forbidden relationships*.*
