Reply #121: Well, that answer has nothing whatsoever to do with my question

But... um, thanks for the fake anecdote. I can't imagine an observant Jew who hasn't read Deuteronomy.

"Parents shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their parents; only for their own crimes may persons be put to death."

This means that you are not to hold children responsible for the transgressions of their parents.

... or Ezekiel

"The person who sins shall die. A child shall not suffer for the iniquity of a parent, nor a parent suffer for the iniquity of a child; the righteousness of the righteous shall be his own, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be his own."

Contradicting a major Prophet? Oy!
