0:00 Salvations from Heaven, and joy... Let only the shell-shocked come first, only those with combat shock. - Rav, is this all right? Do I need to remove this now? Interesting - this? Yes. These are my broken pieces; these are all the cracks in me. These are my daughters, my wife. This is me. This is Tzvi. - And [unclear] the tattoo? A drawing. You know that a tattoo is forbidden because of the writing of letters.
0:27 This is a drawing, something else, but it is better, whenever you are able, to remove it. There is a discussion among the poskim: in Tractate Bava Kamma, page 90, there the Gemara discusses whether a person is permitted to wound himself. Whether a person is permitted to inflict a wound on himself. In Choshen Mishpat, siman 402, se'if 1, there is a dispute among the Acharonim whether the prohibition of wounding is from the Torah or Rabbinic. And if now you come to have surgery, and you will make a wound here? - Right.
0:53 So there is here, as it were - on one side it is also forbidden to wound oneself; you are making a wound deliberately. If there is a possibility to do it without it being a wound, in an easier way - possibly. Perhaps a blessing will come, with Hashem's help. The drawing - engrave it for yourself in your heart, in memory. It must always be clean, so that nothing is on you. But as they say - I say: what was, already was - that it should not break a person. You know, very broken people come to me - to see them, I do not know what to tell them; I strengthen them, so that they will be encouraged.
1:21 But with Hashem's help, the Holy One, blessed be He, will strengthen you, heal you, gladden you, save you, You will always be only in joy. Amen. The Holy One, blessed be He, will save you from Heaven, with all the blessings and good influences, and you will always be only in joy - amen. Joyful and glad, in health, wealth and nachas, in good that is seen and revealed, out of joy and gladness of heart. Chazak, chazak, chazak. Health and salvations from Heaven.
