CHASSIDIC PEARLS BY RABBI LAZER BRODY PARSHAS ACHAREI MOS
"In the hand of a designated man to the desert" (Vayikra 16:21).
The task of the "designated man" is tremendously important, namely, to lead the scapegoat to the desert. The entire atonement of the people of Israel is dependant on the "designated man" doing his job properly. Yet, the designated man is an unsung hero, a simple Jew, and not necessarily a Cohen. There is no record anywhere in Jewish historical or holy texts of a scapegoat escaping from the designated man, or of a designated man not doing his job properly.
