KETER: SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 13th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh ( שמנה עשרה‎ ) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

FREEDOM OF CHOICE

Is it possible that if someone sins or commits
a sin that upsets his Maker, and you have no
acquaintance with him, the Creator will collect
his debt from you? It is written, “Fathers
shall not be put to death for children… every
man shall be put to death for his own sin”
(Deuteronomy 24:16), so how can they say
that you are responsible for the sins of even
a complete stranger, of whom you know neither
him nor his whereabouts?
And if that is not enough for you, see
Masechet Kidushin, p 40b: “Rabbi Elazar, the
son of Rabbi Shimon, says: ‘Since the world
is judged by its majority and the individual is
judged by its majority, if he performed one
Mitzva, happy is he, for he has sentenced the
whole world to a scale of merit. And if he
committed one sin, woe onto him, for he has
sentenced himself and the whole world to a
scale of sin, as it is said, ‘one sinner destroys
much good.’’”
And Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Shimon,
has made me responsible for the whole world,
since he thinks all the people in the world are
responsible for one another, and each person
brings merit or sin to the whole world with
his deeds.
