Sanhedrin 62: Multiple transgressions, Single Offerings

A brief reminder about the major concerns discussed in today's daf:

  • one might forget that an action is a transgression
  • one might intentionally transgress
  • one might incur several consequences (bringing multiple sin offerings) 
  • one might incur only one penalty, one sin offering, for a number of transgressions
  • an example of this is when a person bows to an idol, forgetting that this action is forbidden
  • however, if one intended to honour a person whom others might consider to be an idol, this could be permitted
  • Shabbat halachot are treated with greater stringency
  • One can look to the intention of the transgression to determine the seriousness of the punishment 
  • Pleasure might be derived from the transgression
  • Rabbi Yochanan says that if someone can explain to him the Mishna of a barrel moved by a watchman without permission, that he would carry his clothes to the bathhouse.
