Building Bridges
I am a rabbi, proud to affirm my love of Judaism…on my skin. I got my first tattoo at age 16 after returning from a high school program in Israel. I decided to avow my place among my people Israel by tattooing a small Star of David with a dove in the middle on my left ankle.
Being Heard
When I’m songleading at the URJ’s Henry S. Jacobs Camp in Utica, Mississippi, my speech impediment is not evident. But when I’m not in the spotlight, like Moses, it’s difficult for me to get the words out.
Honoring My Grandfather
I have my paternal grandfather’s six-digit Holocaust number, 184203, tattooed on my wrist. What was done to him in hate, I do in love.
Showing Who I Am
Whenever people ask me about who I am, being Jewish is one of the first things I tell them.
Why I'm Not Tattooed
Miriam Hopper: Jewish tradition teaches us that the body is sacred. There would have to be a good reason for me to alter the body I was given. Missy Goldstein: I think of myself as so much more than any tattoo could say about me. To me, having a tattoo would be too defining.
