Two characters go hunting and bring back a large dead deer on top of their car. You can see the blood on his stomach where he was shot.

A rabbi tells a parable about a dentist who sees a message carved into a patient's teeth. We do see the teeth, but the patient doesn't seem to be aware of them (so not in any pain) and it's more of a metaphor than actual damage.

Larry has a vivid nightmare about his racist neighbor teaching his son to "hunt Jews." A cop is dismissive and ignorant on being told a family is sitting shiva.

SPOILERS: the main character’s divorce costs $3,000, his doctor calls and says they need to discuss his X-ray results so they are presumably bad, and the son’s Hebrew school is hit by a tornado.

A man is stabbed at the beginning of the movie. Blood stains his shirt. Furthermore, we see the aftermath of a hunted deer - his stomach is bloody. In a dream sequence, a man is shot in the head and you can see the blood spurt out of his head.
