It was heartwarming to see thousands of Yidden coming to the Filterthon this past Sunday in Rabbi Landau’s shul in Flatbush.
Venishmartem’s well trained team of technicians volunteered their time, to help Klal Yisroel get protection from the dangers of the internet. The technichians advised people the best possible filter, while allowing them the freedom of browsing the sites that are necessary for their needs.
The devices people came with were varied, including: computers, laptops, Macs, Windows 8 computers. Smartphones, iPhones, iPads, iPod touch, Androids, Blackberry’s, Blackberry 10, Palms, gaming devices, and more.
At the Filterthon, ‘Venishmartem’ officially released the new, state-of-the-art filter, named ‘VCF’ (Venishmartem Cloud Filter), powered by the famous company ‘Livigent’. This top-of-the-line filter was originally designed for companies and big organizations. Over six million dollars was invested, to create VCF, build and developed special for the needs of the Frum community. The goal was to make a new creation of an ‘intelligent’ filter which would not act as a dummy filter by blocking names of websites, but rather will look at each individual page in real time, to make sure no bad content is leaking through.
“The world wide web is like a storming river, and a filter for it, accordingly, must be something like a filter for water, which filters every drop of water passing through, not just rely on a pre-set list of information” one of the officials of Venishmartem said. Venishmartem, has put in tremendous time and effort, to have it designed and built up in a way to make it available for every Yid around the world! Instantly, easily, and affordably.
The new cutting edge VCF Pro filter is available for computers and laptops, as well as for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, which will filter the entire device, included the ‘Safari browser’ and all apps.
People left the Filterthon with knowledge about the many different filtering systems available for their devices, many installing the protection that best suits their needs, on the spot. At least 1,500 people downloaded the new VCF filter. What a Kiddush Hashem!
If you missed this event, you can still reach Venishmartem, at 718 GET-HELP, for advice and for help installing a filter that’s most practical for your business or home.

And of course the company selling the software stands to make millions from this.
mamash a kiddush hashem. thank you to the organizers for putting this together.
#1 Actually not, not at all. It’s to deflect some of the cost of the licenses for the hosting technology/program Livigent.
Wassup-.. and saving thousands of neshamos……….
Hey wassup, what’s wrong with that. Do I hear a little jealousy here?
Wassup, I certainly hope they do make millions. Thank you, Livigent, for saving me from endless hours of wasted time and worse. May you continue to do your Holy work amidst Hashem’s choicest Brochos. Gut Yom Tov.
I wish there would be Affording-Tuition-a-thons, Paying for Camp-a-thons, Stopping-Pedophile-a-thons. It never ceases to baffle and amaze me as to what the “askonim” choose to focus on.

The internet is a big problem.
Rebyid40 – any ideas how to do those things? No one says they aren’t as important if not more so but easier said than done. Lets at least do what we can.
