Yonatan ben Yosef (696-???) was a Talmudic rabbi. He is known for introducing the notion that in the event of a "life or death situation", Halakha does not apply (unless it involves the transgression of Judaism's three "cardinal sins": Worship of idols (avoda zara), sexual immorality (gilui arayot), and murder (shfichut damim when a Jew is then obligated to give his life (yehareg ve'al ya'avor) rather than transgress the Torah's commandments.)
