520 |a Unlike nonreligious legal systems, Jewish law (halakha) assumes the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent Creator whose purposes cannot always be fathomed. Jewish law also assumes a network of relationships between and among the Creator and all human beings. As a result of these assumptions, there is purpose in every instant of life, for the individual and for the community, even though the purpose is not always readily apparent. Two overarching principles that provide great guidance are G-d's commandments that Jews, individually and collectively, live by his commandments and be holy. This article explores how these assumptions and principles, along with other applicable Jewish law concepts, apply to physician-assisted dying.
