At the special gathering at the home of HaRav Chaim
Kanievsky a letter from HaRav Wosner and HaRav Karelitz was
read that stated (in part): "Now that the Yomim Noraim have
arrived, hearts are open and people want to return to
Hashem. We hereby request that you cry and warn to your
congregations and especially on Shabbos Shuvoh, not to use a
unfiltered Internet, or an iPhone and similar devices,
without any horo'as heter."
These subjects were discussed at numerous venues on Shabbos
Shuvoh, as the efforts to control this problem continue.
The letter also added: "Warning should be given about
keeping to the rules given for saving the generation.
Choliloh no one should permit it even for parnossoh. No one
should work in a place where the Internet is unfiltered and
forbidden sights are not blocked. To our great sorrow,
leniencies in this area caused many to fall to a deep
pit."
