our next question is by Anonymous what is your understanding of Arvis if a Jew on the other side of the planet does something wrong why is that my fault why are we all punished together what happened to the concept of personal responsibility there definitely is a concept of personal responsibility of course person doesn't a he's going to get punished but I want you to to think about this for a moment uh Rashi says why was Dina uh raped and kidnapped so she was Theus she was Theus she was going out why was she going out in a Goa town you know good she was going with the girls just to see what was happening you know but you put yourself out in the public like that that's what Dina did and then Rashi later says Yakov says um I uh uh you know Hashem says go back to to Basel and bring the konus that you promised and you know don't forget and he says because you delayed this is what happened to Dena so was it yakov's fault or was it dena's fault and the answer is when a tragedy happened it affects everybody it affects the person it affects their parents and affects the people around them you know and uh you know a father dies and it changes the wife's the the children his brothers his parents changes everybody's life all around them you know and uh it's it's something to really consider that you many different contributions therefore um salant told the boys who are learning Yeshiva learn Stark so that the baltim in Paris don't end to marry they weren't doing kir the answer is if you are Stark enough in your yish kite
