Rending Garments Excessively

View Mode

Passage Content

One may rends garments in anguish over one
who died, and it is not considered of the
ways of the Amorites, but a Jewish custom.
One who rends his garments excessively over
one who died is flogged for having transgressed
the prohibition of: Do not destroy.
And all the more so it is the case
that one who injures his body in
anguish transgresses this prohibition.
