Gemara (Zevachim 89a): Whatever is more frequent than another precedes the other. Derived from Bemidbar 28,23 מלבד עלת הבקר אשר לעלת התמיד. The context of the verse is the Pesach mussaf offerings. The phrase “besides the morning olah offering (i.e. the Tamid) implies that the Pesach mussafim are to be offered after the morning Tamid. Thus, frequent (daily Tamid) takes precedes the less frequent (Musaffim).
The Ten Utterances: Two Tablets with one Tablet for Mitzvos between a person to HaShem; and the second one for Mitzvos between a person and another person.
Mitzvos: two categories – 248 Positive Mitzvos and 365 negative Mitzvos.
Mitzvos: The Big Three of forbidden sexual relationships; spilling blood; and idol worship. One must suffer death rather than transgress the Big Three; all other Mitzvos under certain circumstances one may transgress rather than die.
Mitzvos: Seven universal Mitzvos apply to all humans: The Big Three, eating a limb from an living animal, cursing with the name of HaShem; stealing; and setting up courts.
Mitzvos: Women are exempt from the general category of time-bond positive Mitzvos.
Law: The mitzvah to save one’s life overrides other Mitzvos; for example, one can transgress Shabbos to save a life (better to transgress one Shabbos to observe many more).
Torah: When learning Torah, one can forgo other Mitzvos (such as burying a dead person) if others can do that mitzvah.
