What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Hofstedter’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] Page 20 Page 2 We all know that the commandments were given to the people of Israel so that they would live, do them, and live as it is written, and live in them and not die in them. Therefore, all the commandments, including the things that must be done and the things that must not be done, are not valid. As soon as there is a concern for the slightest danger to the life of a Jew, they are rejected. A person is actually forbidden to fulfill the commandment. If he dies by doing so, he is not obligated to If he dies by doing so, he is not obligated to give up his life. There is even a discussion in the Rishonim whether he is permitted to give up his life in the event that the Torah tells him to abandon them and live in them and not die in them. But there are exceptions to the rule. Today, it seems that idolatry, incest, and bloodshed are exceptions to the rule. I want to take a short message from what is written regarding the shedding of blood. Rashi says regarding the shedding of blood. The Torah did not permit the rejection of a mitzvah. Pay attention to Rashi's sweet language. I think this message is beyond any message. Rashi says, the Torah did not permit the rejection of a mitzvah except out of love for the soul of Israel.
