Collective Responsibility By Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser
With the Viduy of the Kohen Gadol we see that he first confesses specifically to his own sins and transgressions. Then, when he comes to confess for his family, he once again states “v’chiper ba’ado” , in order to take charge of the responsibility that he has for his family. And then when he comes to confess for the nation, he once again repeats “v’chiper ba’ado,” because every Jew bears responsibility for the actions of every other Jew.
