The Power of Rescue

Vayikra 19:16

Do not stand idly by while your neighbor’s blood is shed.

ויקרא יט:טז
לֹא תַעֲמֹד עַל דַּם רֵעֶךָ
Sanhedrin 37a

Whoever saves one soul from Isreal, it is as if he or she saved a universe.

סנהדרין דף לז עמוד א
וְכָל הַמְקַיֵּים נֶפֶשׁ אַחַת מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל מַעֲלֶה עָלָיו הַכָּתוּב כְּאִילּוּ קִיֵּים עוֹלָם מָלֵא
