A drink of water

Schneur Zalman of NY commenting to mentalblog.com: the blog

Tzemach, perhaps its time for a leave of absence with Judaism. Many of my friends took a leave and when they came back they were better for it. I regret never doing it myself, but I am the martyr. They were more tolerant, less parochial and better people. You are a Jew because you are alive. Your blog is interesting, but like everything your personal happiness should come first. G-D will not mind if you leave for a while. Chassidus wants a man to wrestle with G-D. G-D does not need or desire YES men. These are not spiritual people, these are just "monkeys". So cut the dialogue put it on hold and get a drink of water.
