Your sin is my sin

Hi,

"The practice of compelling people to follow Torah is a product of the principle that 'All Jews are responsible for each other'; one who would violate the law would harm others and the entity as a whole. Thus the court should compel and judge one who violates Gd's commands. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to intervene in another's relationship with his Creator."

(R' Meir Simcha haKohen of Dvinsk, Meshech Chachmah to Shemot 24:3)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
