Completely and utterly incorrect. In fact, it would fall under the heading of "pikuach nefesh", saving a life- and when that comes into play- there are only three things you cannot do:
1) Murder
2)Idoltary
3) Sexual immorailty (Bestiality, incest, sodomy, adultery)
EVERY other law is suspended and you are guilty of a massive sin if you do not attack the immediate action required to save the person.

That is complete bull how could you be committing a sin if you're saving someones life! It's the exact opposite of sinning, it's a good thing.

Bull - it would be a sin in Judaism to let the man drown. To do such a thing would be a mitzvah and nothing is greater than that.
Good Luck!!!

Absoutely false! As a matter of fact, one is **commanded** to break any law at all in order to save a human life with the exception of three commandments: those against idolatry, incest and murder.

As my fellow Answer! colleages have stated (LadySuri, L'Chaim, allonyoav) it is absolutely FALSE information!

In my opinion, and everything I've been taught, it is a mitzvah to save ANYONE's life. No matter who they are or what religious practice they have. It would be considered a sin to watch a person drowning - without making any attempt to save him.

Scripture has made provision for those who sojourn among you & explains how we are not to place a stumbling block before them.
So, helping or saving another is considered a positive thing to do.
