Scapegoat: Holding Fear Without Sacrifice

By Laurie S Sherman

Scapegoat is a Jewish work of moral inquiry and ritual imagination. Drawing on ancient tradition and contemporary fracture, Laurie S. Sherman examines how communities survive by displacing what they cannot bear-fear, guilt, contradiction, unresolved grief-and the human cost of that exile. This book refuses the false comfort of innocence and purity. Instead, it asks what becomes possible when blame is named, held, and spoken aloud. Part prayer, part reckoning, part invitation to stay present, Scapegoat insists that moral life begins not with certainty, but with responsibility.
