Acharei Mos

Acharei Mos


Like Efraim and Menasheh the two goats stand,

To Aaron’s left hand and his right,

As if blessing his sons this one last time,

In his garments of linen and white.


Yitzchak was offered up at G-d’s command,

But HaShem took a ram in his stead,

Nadav and Abihu brought an offering unwanted,

And God’s fire rendered them dead.


The goats of Yom Kippur that follow herein,

Will atone for our “fire zara”,

Henceforth just these kids, 

Not the children of man,

Shall be chosen to bring kapara.
