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.Recorded 1/27/25.Music: “Shir Shir (A Sing Song)” by Maurice Perez | 2002 | www.israelidances.comRabbi & Son - Hot takes on news, pop culture, and religion.
