Jewish Perspective on Tattoos and Body Piercing

 Permanent link

Rabbi Ron Muroff will be leading a lunch discussion on Jewish perspective of tattoos and body piercing this Thursday, April 22nd, at the Asbell Center for Jewish Life, starting at 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm.  He will discuss whether there is a debate within the sources about these things, is it always necessarily seen as self-mutilation or can the body be "beautified" in this way, and also about tattooed Holocaust numbers as the ultimate in degradation.  Please join us for pizza, salad, and drinks for lunch and enjoy the discussion.
