wow,
I’m surprised that all these posters only heard about this for the first time this is the first time
I’ve heard it before regarding talmidim of a gadol doing it for the gadol (can’t remember who)
oh and Wolf, you only say don’t save someone else if you’re not the one making the decision (In other words if I can save someone by killing myself then I can do it if I want to, but I don’t have to, I can’t kill you to save someone else because of the reason you provided)
I hope I’m being clear
