A heartbreaking discovery in Neve Yaakov, Jerusalem — an Frum Chareidie couple was found dead in their home. Their son discovered the scene.Below is translated from Hebrew Blog:
It happened today in Jerusalem, no one wanted to believe that such a thing could happen, especially when it comes in an environment of many yeshiva students, but when they arrived at the scene, they saw how a small child was standing next to his dead parents.
It turns out that the father was angry with his wife - it is not clear at the moment what - he shot her, and shot himself, apparently telling himself that we will not both live, and leaving the child without a father and mother
How does such a thing happen in general and among the Chareidim in particular?
This is not something that has not happened in the past, unfortunately we have heard of cases like this where a husband shot his wife and committed suicide, but the outcry here is twofold, how is it that someone who is considered 'Chareidie' would do such a thing?
How is it that the Chareidie education system brought out such a horrible act?.
It is not enough to wear a white shirt and a yeshiva hat, Charedie education must be so different, that even in moments like this we should know how to overcome and not go so far. There are red lines that existed in the past and we are learning that these no longer exist, something very serious and difficult is happening in Charedie education, that an act of this kind happened,proves that something is sick in the education
They are trying to explain to me with a racist reason that this is someone who comes from a background of '... Knives' and who get angry and hit each other, it is in their nature.
I don't buy that, yes it's true that we're on the eve of Pesach, and the pressure is especially great in homes where the cleaning and everything that happens around the holiday puts pressure on a husband, but to take a gun and shoot his wife and then to shoot himself?
We have had too many suicides lately, this matter has become much more serious, and this time he not only killed himself but also his wife
They will argue, and ostensibly there is something to it, because we are dealing with a 'patient.' True, anyone who does such a thing must be mentally disturbed because a sane person would not do such a thing. Still, how is it possible that they did not know that the person was dangerous and did nothing to ensure that such a thing would not happen?
This is a well-known neighborhood in the holy city of Jerusalem, a neighborhood populated by Bnei Torah yeshiva students, who will have to deal with how such a thing happened in their surroundings on Shabbat HaGadol
