Re: Pikuach nefesh --- any law can be broken for the sake of life
 Edey: I, too, have learned quite a bit about the Jewish religion and traditions from what you have posted and am finding it very interesting.
Ditto. I enjoy reading the things that Deb writes. I pray that you can re-Kosher-ize (?) your place soon Deb to stay well!

But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.

Re: Pikuach nefesh --- any law can be broken for the sake of life
DeborahMichelle, I love the practicality of this. Part of my path is the idea of Sacred Hospitality--and some of the hospitality rules can be suspended when someone is hurt or injured (for instance, if someone is injured, even if an enemy, render aid). Funny to see how similar!

Dear Edey, Yes, Judaism does encourage practicality. Within marriage,, it encourages on the Sabbath for couples to be together. It is considered the wife's right to cuddle. That topic is just one example. Love in Him, Deb

Dear Luvd_Lioness, My weekend aide simply LOVES to clean, & we can probably do all that is necessary to re-kasher/Kosherize the kitchen this very weekend! Love in Him, Deb

Dear Kate, Well, hospitality was a sacred virtue in Homer's Odyssey as well as beginning with Abraham in the Hebrew Bible. Yours in Him, Deb

Re: Pikuach nefesh --- any law can be broken for the sake of life
Dear Sissy, As I wrote, there are 3 commandments that CANNOT be justified in breaking under the doctrine of pekuach nefesh. One is murder, which you seem to be alluding to. (The other 2 are carnal siins, & blasphemy.) Yours in Him, Deb
