This was a blog which YW Editor used to wrote on, so please post this message.

“Leading off was the rosh yeshiva Rabbi Malkiel Kotler who spoke about the necessity of erecting “walls”, safeguarding yourself and your children. “Don’t let cracks in that wall; don’t open any door!

Lakewood’s beloved mashgiach Rabbi Matisyahu Solomon ended off bemoaning how our generation is dancing with the satan and- “he’s spinning out of control with much excitement”, having gotten the internet in our homes.

Any heter, exclaimed the mashgiach, to posses the internet for parnasah is “B’Deyeved of B’Deyeved, adding: “I’d like to say something radical: maybe it is better to live in poverty than to give away your neshama- bring the internet in your house!”.

He warned everyone : “It has no place in a jewish home”,… “One picture can ruin a child for life.”,… “You don’t give children keys to your car”!”

That was said by the asifa. Even to earn a living, use of the internet was questionable. You want me to think they ok it with a filter?

There is a link to the takanos put out in Lakewood. It says that if you must have the internet for work only, you need a filter. It says nothing about allowing it to be used for non-work issues, even with a filter.
