The Human Body in Jewish Law

Hosted By: Melton

Tattooing, body-piercing, cosmetic surgery, cremation, embalming, hair cutting, hair covering, immersing in water… In most contemporary societies, these issues are matters of personal preference rather than religious law. Jewish law, however, has significant, thought-provoking things to say about how we treat the human body and what we do to it. Join world-renowned educator Rabbi Danny Schiff as we explore how Jewish law suggests we should treat our bodies.
