Q&A: A Crazy Haredi
A Crazy Haredi
Question
I wanted to ask the Rabbi: as a miserable and pathetic Haredi who causes a desecration of God's name and is utterly disgusted with himself, do I have a Torah-level obligation to kill myself so that there will be one fewer Haredi in the world? And how can I make sure that the next time I come down to this world it will be as a Religious Zionist?
Answer
I'm not sure that, as a Haredi, you are obligated in the commandments (though I wonder whether that might be on the grounds of being deaf-mute, mentally incompetent, or a minor). But if so, then see here:

If the Haredi very much wants to be Religious Zionist – then he is "dying to be" Religious Zionist, and so his commandment has been fulfilled 🙂

That reminds me of the story about the Brisker who killed himself because he suspected that he was descended from Amalek…
Seriously: I didn't understand why you're claiming that a Haredi is not obligated in the commandments. Why? What's the logic?
Humor, my brother.
