To Chareidim LeDvar Hashem Who Fly

We are distraught and still lacking a solution for our Jewish brethren who must travel by plane. Today, during the flight, passengers are exposed to a stumbling block in the form of movies and this is within our control.

Therefore we hereby state our opinion that one must try one's best to arrange a seat without movies. And if flights to one's intended destination are available without movies it is forbidden to book on other flights [with movies]. We call on all chareidim ledvar Hashem not to be lenient in this matter, and every individual should firmly demand of his travel agent to arrange this matter in the most kosher manner possible.

May we gather strength in unity—ke'ish echod beleiv echod—to make our travels holy and fitting.

May those who heed us be well and receive blessings for good. Velamazhir velanizhor shlomim yitein kemei nohor. Ach tov vochessed yirdefum kol yemei chayeihem le'orech yomim.

Signed,
