animatedamerican:letthewordsoverflow:animatedamerican:bisexualbaker:vaspider:Pikuach Nefesh, the principle of the preservation of life & the soul, is one of the core principles of Judaism. By wearing masks, we help to preserve the lives of others: not just our family and friends, but strangers, all of whose lives deserve our respect and care.[Images: Three face masks; all have a black background and Pikuach Nefesh in Hebrew across the front; one of the masks has a rainbow outline around the letters, while another has trans pride color outline around the letters.]I am so very, very tempted.Oooooooh I LOVE thisAlso this notion is taken so seriously in judiasm that there are literally only 3 laws we arent allowed to break for the sake of saving a life. Wanna know the 3? Its idolatry, adultry, and KILLING SOMEONE ELSE. Just wanna note that. Just to clarify – idolatry, adultery, and murder. Killing someone else who is actively pursuing you to kill you is not classified as murder.(There are a handful of other types of killing other people that are not classified as murder, but I wanted to emphasize that killing the person threatening your life in order to save your own life is entirely and explicitly permitted under Jewish law; it’s killing a non-threatening third party that is not.) -- source link
