You wake up Shabbat morning and you find an
annoying piece of skin sticking off your
lips or you see that they forgot one hair on
your eyebrow or one hair in your beard. Are
you allowed to remove them on Shabbat? And
lastly, are you allowed to bite your nails
on Shabbat? One of the melachot of Shabbat is
the of gozez, which means shearing or removing
something from a body, and therefore one is
not allowed to bite off that piece of skin
or to pull off that last hair in your eyebrow
or beard, or to bite your nails on Shabbat.
