In Judaism a sin is any act that violates the stipulations of the covenant with God. This means that, within Judaism, sin encompasses not only religious or ritual offenses, which people today commonly think of as sins, but also includes all other crimes as well, whether they are against individuals or are violations of any of the community laws described in the Torah as a whole.
