Reply To: Saying Kaddish For A Suicide

Avram,

Thank you for your concern. I can see why you might be concerned, but in truth, there is little cause for concern. I have no plans nor desire to off myself. Even if I *really* wanted to, there are far too many people who depend too much on me (although whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, I suppose, is debatable) in various roles in life to even really consider it.

Some of your examples, such as claiming you are a sinner for talking during laining when you serve as baal koreh

That bit, I’ve admitted, was meant tongue in cheek.

Granted, I can be self-critical (perhaps to the extreme), and even further granted that I don’t particularly like myself very much, but I said I would limit my self-deprecatory comments on this site and, I believe, I’ve adhered to that.
