Reply To: Should Someone Who Is Considering Murder…

I would hope that not not only would such a person be ostracized, he would be, more importantly, watched very carefully.

Thank you, for finally giving a straight answer. At least someone can actually give one.

Your answer now leads me to this follow-up question:

We all know that suicide is worse than murder (for example, a murderer does not necessarily lose his portion in Olam HaBah, a suicide does). If a person who is considering murder should be ostracized, shouldn’t it also follow that someone considering something far worse (i.e. suicide) should also be ostracized and shunned from the community?
