INDIVIDUALLY LIABLE

[55a bottom] R’ Yochanan: The Torah mentions Kares (punishment of death from Above) regarding one’s sister to teach that if one committed all the Ervah (inappropriate relationships) transgressions in one lapse of awareness he is liable to bring a Chatas offering for every single transgression.

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: A person is liable for every single thing he/she does. One should not think, “I will do five sins and only be accountable once.”  We should always be careful in each and every action we do.
