There is nothing that stands before saving a life

There is nothing that stands before saving a life

Nothing is more important than the value of saving a human life. Saving a life and the value of human life take precedence over everything else.

("For it was said: There is nothing that stands before saving a life—except idolatry, sexual immorality, and murder alone"—Ketubot 19a)
