In daf 111, we were introduced to a new Mishna. We learned about the Ir HaNidachas. a Jewish city where the majority of the population has turned to idol worship.

Some rabbis say that residents of such a city would not merit the World-to-Come even if they repent. Others claim that this opinion was removed from the historical text and that there were conditions which might allow residents to merit the World-to-Come.

We explore notions of collective punishment then and now.
