| Nov 1, 2012 at 16:48 | comment | added | Zachariah | @DoubleAA i'm contemplating a scenario where one sees no other option for family livelihood. I think it's off-topic from this question+thread. Then maybe there is Pikuach Nefesh for one's children. Situational at most, and one would endeavor to move on from such a job. | |
| Nov 1, 2012 at 16:33 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @NewAlexandria It would be hard to use Shalom Bayit to justify violating clear Biblical prohibitions. | |
| Nov 1, 2012 at 6:29 | comment | added | JNF | Hi Daniel, and welcome! Since your comments seem to reveal more details on the situation, I would recommend editing the question as to include these. | |
| Nov 1, 2012 at 3:00 | comment | added | Zachariah | Perhaps שלומ בית could influence the necessity to perform the job, and thus the job-necessary function of saving property. | |

| Oct 31, 2012 at 4:46 | comment | added | Yirmeyahu | @DoubleAA, fine but that is part of the answer, not a negation of the question | |
| Oct 31, 2012 at 4:41 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @Yirmeyahu We generally assume nowadays that any significant fire is a threat to life because it can easily spread to other buildings. But yes, answers that touch on that would be good. | |
| Oct 31, 2012 at 4:26 | comment | added | Yirmeyahu | The issue isn't just about placing oneself in an occupation where you must break Shabbos to save a life, you are also expected to save property. | |

| Oct 31, 2012 at 3:36 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @Ariel It's not about where he lives, but what the question he is asking is. Any lemaaseh question should be posed to his personal Rabbi. | |

| Oct 30, 2012 at 23:57 | comment | added | daniel | I you are a allowed to break shabbat to save lives, but is someone allowed to pursue a job (firefighting) that he knows will cause him to be mechallel shabbat? | |
| Oct 30, 2012 at 23:55 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | @DoubleAA, I don't think that's the same thing -- finding yourself in that situation might be different from choosing an occupation that you know will place you in that situation. (That said, I know enough Jewish doctors who do or did do rotations in hospitals to suspect that this is permitted, though I don't know under what circumstances.) | |
