וכל עבירות שבתורה מכל העולם לא והכתיב (ויקרא כו, לז) וכשלו איש באחיו איש בעון אחיו מלמד שכל ישראל ערבים זה בזה
The Gemara asks: And with regard to all of the other transgressions in the Torah, is punishment not exacted from the entire world? But isn’t it written: “And they shall stumble one upon another” (Leviticus 26:37)? This verse is homiletically interpreted to mean that they shall stumble spiritually, one due to the iniquity of another, which teaches that the entire Jewish people are considered guarantors for one another. Apparently, any transgression makes the entire world liable to be punished.
Question 3
We expressed gratitude at various points during the weekend. For food, community, and just waking up (Modeh Ani!). According to the Talmud, who is the first person to have thanked God in the Torah? Check out Loren Berman’s source sheet on “What it means to be a Yehudi” to find out!
