Someone asked me to post this:

I’m writing this instead of my brother.
Yesterday I caught him trying to bypass the computers filter and watch inappropriate things… at first I didn’t know whether to approach him and ask him what's going on or not, but then I decided that I want to help him… So I told him that I saw the sites he tried to visit. He went pale and was just quiet… I told him he shouldn’t worry because I wont tell anybody, and that he needs serious help, and that I’m in the same boat. I told him about GYE and how much it helped me to read and post and talk with other people with the same struggles. My brother doesn’t speak any word English, only Hebrew, and doesn’t have constant access to a computer- he’s in Yeshiva. I showed him the Hebrew forum, and the articles there. He told me he wants to stop, but is finding it very hard. Therapy is unfortunately not an option. He also doesn't feel so comfortable speaking about this with me...
Now, he told me that he’d love to have someone he can talk to, even meet, in EY, Yerushalaim. I was wondering if anybody in this heilige forum could help…


Anyone?

Dear Guard,

I am sure that there must be someone in Israel for to talk with. I want to help, but I don't Hebrew. I could ask around at my SA meeting. We have Hebrew speakers, maybe one of them is meant to help your brother.

It's not my brother, well, every Jew is "my brother"  , but... someone asked me to post it, as I wrote on top.

Anyway, I appreciate your help. After Pesach, I guess he'll be back here, so we'll be in touch.

I am an American, but I have been living in Israel for close to two decades and am fluent in Hebrew. I'm not such a talker, but I would be a good correspondent, if that would be helpful. Meeting would probably be difficult, as I don't have many opportunities to get to Yerushalayim, and my schedule is very tight.

Dear Sturggle and UTN,
I made contact with this bochur and corresponded with him over Bein Hazmanim. Now he has gone back to Yeshiva and he does not have regular access to the internet. He said that he would like to continue being in contact but as yet we cannot work out a way to do so.
I am very reluctant to make personal contact with him. I think that GYE has proven that the anonymity is what allows us to communicate uninhibitedly, and that plays a big part in overcoming the difficulties.
I don't know if either of you have made contact with this bochur, but if you have then I would be less concerned.
If you or anyone else here can advise me or think of a solution I would appreciate it.
