The following notice was issued by the Vaadas HaRabbonim
LeInyonei Tikshoret (Telfax: 02 5381858), which was founded
and is guided by gedolei Yisroel shlita:
In light of the increasing use of computer communications
systems (email and Internet) in order to execute various
tasks and convey information, etc., we have received numerous
requests from those who need to use these systems in the
course of earning their living.
We were asked by maranan verabonon shlita to seek a
solution that would allow the use of these types of
communication without having to expose oneself to the
terrible stumbling-blocks found in these means of
communication, which have claimed numerous victims
Rachmono litzlan.
Now, following much hard work, we have managed besiyata
deShmaya, based on consultations with experts, to arrive
at a technical blocking solution for those who need access to
email alone or to sites essential to their work. We've
contacted communications companies that provide these
infrastructures and servers to have them provide a solution
for the chareidi public through a special track that would be
under our supervision.
At this stage several companies have responded, and now those
interested will have the opportunity to connect to this
special track by calling a special hotline at 057-311-0220
from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
We hereby give notice that the above does not contain any
dispensation to use computers, and certainly not computer
communications, except in the case of needs related to
earning a living, and every individual should act according
to the instructions of his rabbonim shlita.
May it be His Will that no stumbling-blocks result from our
efforts.
