‘Individual offences bring shame not only upon the persons who commit them, but upon the entire race, which, says an old writer, like a harp-string, has but to be struck at one end and it vibrates throughout. This has been the fate of Israel in every age; and the world’s habit of identifying the race with the shortcomings of the individual seems to be ineradicable. Public transgression—transgression which involves the whole House of Israel—is in a special sense branded as a Chillul Hashem, as “a profanation of the Name” just as good deeds, done publicly, which reflect lustre on all Israel, are praised as a Kiddush Hashem, “a sanctification of the Name”.’ (Morris Joseph, Judaism as Life and Creed. 3rd Edition. Routledge—an excellent book that should be in every English-speaking Jewish home.)
