1996 Letter Regarding Dangers of Internet 26 Jul 2016 03:08 #292689
|
From Today's Chizuk E-mail (#1519 or #1520):
Rabbi Dovid Heber of Baltimore, who has been a member of GYE's Rabbinical Board since 2010, gave permission that the attached letter be shared, including with the GYE community. Rabbi Heber wrote the letter 20 years ago this month when Internet use was in its infancy. In the letter, Rabbi Heber describes the dangers of the Internet, which have come to be all too well-known. [Although it is widely accepted that simply keeping the Internet out of our homes may no longer be a realistic solution, it is extremely important that the appropriate safeguards be in place].

* NO, It's not all or nothing, just every bit counts!
* I failed yesterday, and I might fail tomorrow. But just for today I'm going to give it a try. * Being curios made me lust and get into trouble. אָמַר רבי יוחנן: אֵבֶר קָטָן יֵשׁ לוֹ לָאָדָם, מַרְעִיבוֹ = שָׂבֵעַ, מַשְׂבִּיעוֹ = רָעֵב Gye program + Handbook - Taphsik method - 90 day chart - Ebooks - Shiurim - Rabbi Dr. Avraham Twerski - Recent topics on the Forum |
