One of the most basic principles in Jewish law is that human life come — Pikuach nefesh

"We did everything to save lives, despite Shabbat. People asked, "Why are you here? There are no Jews here," but we are here because the Torah orders us to save lives ... We are desecrating Shabbat with pride."

"In Judaism, human life is essential and so pikuach nefesh, the obligation to save a life in jeopardy, is considered a major value to uphold."
