...sacrifice a goat to Satan on Yom Kippor? Hasidic Jews believe the ram's horn is sounded on Rosh Hashanah for Satan, and a goat was (is) sacrificed on Yom Kippur for Satan.
From the Zohar, the bible of the Kabbalah:
"He (Satan) constantly stands above, recounting the sins of human beings and accusing them for their deeds, so that they will be delivered into his power, as he did with Job. Similarly, he stands over Israel, accusing, recounting the sins in everything they have done. At those times when the blessed Holy One stands over them in judgement, he rises to accuse them and recount their sins (On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur). But the blessed Holy One feels compassion for Israel and has advised them to save themselves from him. How? With a shofar on Rosh Hashanah (The shofar (ram's horn) is intended to confound Satan and interfere with his accusations), and on Yom Kippor with a goat, given to him so that he will disengage from them and occupy himself with that portion of his, as they have established (the goat of Yom Kippur is intended to preoccupy Satan: "They gave him a bribe on Yom Kippur so that he would not nullify Israel's sacrifice to God.)"
Zohar 1:190a
