Avoda Zara

From Halachipedia

One of the pillars of the entire Torah is to run away from any form of service to any other God. It is a capital sin and extremely crucial to the observance of Torah. A Jew who violates this sin willingly is like he violated all of the Torah and he loses many of his halachic privileges as a Jew.
