Rabbi Steinsaltz raises the question of whether cosmetic surgery is permissible, considering that it involves a certain amount of self-harm and self-endangerment. The Rabbi claims that the permissibility of such a surgery is decided based on a comparison of the current physical and psychological "damage" to the potential damages that such a surgery might cause.

  • Interesting video. Before I did anything I read thoroughly at plasticsurgerymadeeasy (.) com

  • I've never seen such a scraggly beard :)

  • didn't it say "do not curse the deaf"

    people think too much about the windows, and not what goes on inside.

  • Discrimination against the sick e.g., Lepers: (the leprosy of today is otherwise called Hansens disease). One reference source says: "The Midrash Rabbah tells of one rabbi who hid from lepers and of another who threw stones at lepers to keep them away."
