“What wrong with using filtered smartphone?”
The issue with a smartphone doesn’t start and end with what can be seen on it, and what can be accessed.
Any Jewish articles on technology will say this clearly.
The issues also involve the addiction, distraction, time consuming aspects which unfortunately we see in the effects of even a filtered smartphone.
Whilst obviously it’s not for everyone’s level not to own one, it’s certainly something to aspire to and it shouldn’t be asserted that there’s nothing wrong with using a filtered smartphone.
With regard to how it effects children if their teacher has a smartphone, they don’t know if the device is filtered or not so will often put all smartphones into the same bad category, because better safe than sorryIsn’t the reason people wear hats to davening because of the inyan to wear a double head covering, hat over kippah, to show extra faith?
Meaning, not because it’s the respectable thing to wearI think the torah is referring to true arrogance, an overload of self-esteem, meaning he thinks he can do everything and he is in power- he thinks he is god. This Hashem says the world cannot contain both of us. Whereas the psychologists to those who act arrogant out of low self-esteem. Like a bully who hurts others to put him down and thereby raise himself. We have to separate these two concepts
Madeofmeaning:
I totally agree with the point you’re making. I don’t live in the tristate area, where I live there’s only one main girls high school, where all the girls go. The girls from more relaxed families who were more openly different, got attention from the machaneches (Though sometimes unwanted) But the girls from good families are just expected to be good and no one notices, or chooses not to notice, if they are struggling as I was when I was in school. It reached the point I wasn’t doing anything right besides for dressing right, and no one knew or if they noticed they didn’t say anything at all.
Where I live, there are many yeshiva’s, each on another level, each suited to a type of boy. But for girls there are 2 options: To be in a BY system or not to be.
I definitely think there should be more options for the girls who need it.Ujm:
“Struggling doesn’t necessarily define one as OTD or, even, at-risk.”
True and thats why I think there should be more options for girls who are struggling and don’t go with the flow as many BY girls seem to do without any thought. There are places for girls who are OTD, but there needs to be a place for those who are struggling yet want to grow.If you guys stop arguing so much and each believe what you want to believe you’ll bring Moshiach so much quicker through shalom, then we’ll see whose right
yeah omg love this one by bracha jaffe
