  • Rabbi & Son: Piercings & Tattoos

    We discuss some theological and historical reasonings for Jewish bias toward piercings and tattoos.

    Two Main Points:

    * If your Purim costume involves a nose ring, there’s no official right/wrong way to wear it.

    * Don’t be the person who eats a BLT and judges someone else’s tattoos in the name of Jewish law.
