okay let's uh let's continue so yesterday we were talking about the two goats and let me just repeat again a lot of the ideas these are concepts that the commentaries you know suggests the symbolisms and the ideas don't always work in consonance with each other each one's an independent idea to the degree that it applies um so one of the commentaries points out like is it reverse shift so fall hearse if you've heard of we're talking remember yesterday those of you you're all here yesterday we're talking about the two goats on yom kippur sir hirsch takes it into a completely different realm what these two goats represent first of all the idea of drawing lots it doesn't strike is a bit strange we're drawing lots on young kipper to determine which goat is which we're drawing lines i mean lots runs contrary to to judaism haman drew lots to determine what day is auspicious for killing the jews what's that that's what we're asking about that why would we be drawing lies right in other words you know the drawing of the losses you know that that are um that that that were in the balance so to speak you know and it could go either way but it could go either way depending on your choice you have the right to choose you could you but but we realized that you know you you have two goats that look exactly the same and one could end up a sacrifice one could end up in azazel because any draw lots the lots representing that that that are our lot
