The “Day of Atonement Dance” is a sad event that goes on in many places. It probably stems from the well-known minhag during the times of the Beis Hamikdash, when unmarried girls would go out into the fields and dance after the seir ha’azazel was sacrificed, and shidduchim would come of it. If this is true, it is of course a most vile perversion of a sacred event.
