Reply To: Stealing permitted in order to save ones life?

Joseph- Weren’t we just talking the other day how certain people here wouldn’t do well being your neighbor or going to your shule in Brooklyn and visa-versa? I don’t think you defending stealing from others in order to learn helps.

But to answer your question, yes Im worried more about the second one than the first because if you psychically die you cant learn Torah ever again anyway. If you cant learn Torah you can still learn it in the future. Also, the second one if far more easy to rationalized and corrupted and cause anti-semtisim if its even true at all.
