GYE is an excellent resource for the frum Jew dealing with inappropriate imaging available online. But the Torah commands us to watch over our eyes & our hearts. Many Frum Jews are struggling with their hearts because they were exposed to ideas or theories online that question our Emunah. The internet is loaded with blogs, commentators, Bible Critics, Rationalists, whistleblowers, disparaging our Mesorah, Our Gedolim, Our way of life. Some of these bloggers have impressive academic degrees as historians etc. & they sometimes call themselves Orthodox, yet, they don't believe in the 13 Ani Maamin. They are Chovevei Torah type (Orthodox). I'm not aware of an online resource where sincere Frum Jews who were exposed to the arguments of the Apikorsim & feel intimidated by them have a chance to ask & recieve satisfying answers.
We need a sister site called GYH Or guard your heart, warning people about problematic sites & giving chizuk to those affected by them.
This will require a group of intellectual Talmidei Chachomim/Kiruv Professionals to be available to answer questions about Emunah that people are having. Online exposure to kefirah & Zilzul Hatorah is certainly leading Frum Jews off the derech & needs to be addressed. It's not only about our eyes, it's about our hearts as well. Does anyone else here agree? Anyone else struggling because of online exposure to anti-Torah ideas?
Can the leadership at GYE create a GYH?

I don't know where you looked for resources and didn't find them, I'll give you just a couple:

aish.com
chabad.org
simpletoremember.com
And of course, torahanytime.com, just search for a topic/speaker

You can also email Rabbi Dovid Gottlieb at dovidlib@gmail.com, I've done it several times, and he's been very helpful.

The information is out there and available, as Chazal say, yagata umatzasataamin, but we need to be honest with what we're looking for.
We get only one chance at life.
This is not a rehearsal; it's the real thing.

Father, help me live sober Today.
