According to a book I'm reading (Judaism: Everything You Need to Know About: Jewish Religion) and various Jews I have talked to you can violate the 10 commandments to save a life.



Is this true?

I. Among the 10 commandments there are 3 that are not overridden by pikuach nefesh (i.e. יהרג ואל יעבור):




  1. Idolatry

  2. Murder

  3. Adulterous relationships


II. Additionally, all other commandments cannot be overridden under specific conditions:




  1. when the offence is in the presence of 10 Jewish people (בפרהסיא),

  2. or in a time of persecution against obedience to mitsvot (בשעת גזרת מלכות).

A general rule is stated in the Talmud (Ketubot 19a):




דאמר מר אין לך דבר שעומד בפני פיקוח נפש אלא עבודת כוכבים וגלוי עריות ושפיכות דמים בלבד



for a Master said: 'There is nothing that comes before the saving of life except idolatry, incest and bloodshed only. (Soncino translation)




As some of the Ten Commandments deal with idolatry, incest, and bloodshed, they can not be violated even to save a life. The others can.



There may be certain circumstances in which the others may not be violated as well, but that would be due to external factors (e.g. desecration of God's name), not due to their status as part of the Ten Commandments.

    "...not due to their status as part of the Ten Commandments" - Just to be clear, the first group are also not due to said status.

    I think it'd be worthwhile to clarify that adultery is included too.

Restoring from pg_dump with foreign key constraints

5 2 In restoring a database from a pg_dump , a number of errors are being generated and the whole table is subsequently being ignored. An example: ERROR: insert or update on table "channelproducts" violates foreign key constraint "fk_rails_dfaae373a5" DETAIL: Key (channel_id)=(1) is not present in table "channels". Interestingly enough, I've noted that all these instances are popping up because of the sequence of loading. channels is after channelproducts both alphabetically and in the file and thus I can understand why postgres complains about having to create a child without a parent. caveat: the foreign key is being generated automatically by rails 4.2: I could remove the problem at the source but that still does not really solve the problem... version: PostgreSQL
