Passage Content

Question: If the mitzvos of Megillah
reading and burying an unattended corpse
conflict, which one takes precedence?
Do we say that Megillah reading takes
precedence, because it publicizes the
miracle God performed for us on Purim,
Or perhaps burying an unattended corpse takes
precedence, because human dignity is at stake?
Answer: Attending to an unattended corpse
takes precedence. Since Human Dignity is so great
it even suspends a prohibition of the Torah.
