2. Why is it preferred to slaughter an animal on Shabbos to feed a sick person even if non-kosher meat is available?
3. Why are we forbidden from turning over an individual to be killed in order to save a group?

Basi Legani 5744: Class 4—Divine Essence Hidden in the World
| By Shais Taub | 0 Comments
The Divine energy that is referred to as "shem" (name) is hidden more deeply in creation than other kinds of Divine energy, however, it also reveals a deeper level of Divinity. The most deeply hidden G-dliness is closer to the actual Essence of the Creator than forms of creative energy that are more revealed.
Chapters 6-7 of the discourse.
