In a world inundated with temptation, the pioneering work of Guard Your Eyes is bringing back tens of thousands to purity and kedusha through cutting-edge, innovative solutions that really work.
Fueled mainly by the accessibility and anonymity of the Internet, this is perhaps the greatest challenge facing the Jewish people in our generation. This affliction hasn’t spared any class of Jews: from teenagers to kollel members and from single to married men. Many of the social ills afflicting the Jewish community today such as youth-at-risk, broken marriages and even child abuse can be traced back to this issue. Much of the Jewish community’s investment and efforts in education today are being undermined by the strong-pull of these temptations.
The Guard Your Eyes organization has undertaken to stem this tide by utilizing methods which have proved successful in treating other addictions. They have successfully helped wean tens of thousands of Jews from these destructive behaviors and have helped return them to normal life. Guard Your Eyes also performs a vital function in preventing the spread of this scourge by raising public awareness of its dangers and by offering effective preventive measures to the general Jewish public.
The materials and tools that this program utilizes have been praised by Gedolim and experts alike for their methodology and approach, and they conform to the highest standards of Torah values.

Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski, MD says:
“Guard Your Eyes allows people to get help anonymously and has saved thousands of individuals and families with their tools, counseling and support. Their success rate is phenomenal! It’s a Pikuach Nefesh. Anyone who has a chelek in this mitzva is really doing something for Netzach Yisrael.”
Harav Aharon Feldman, Rosh Yeshiva Ner Yisrael says:
“Guard Your Eyes is the only weapon we have. Their work is critical for the protection of the sanctity of the Jewish People, but your support is necessary to allow its continuing function and expansion. Supporting this life-saving cause is a great mitzvah.”

Below are a few words from some of the 15,000+ people whose lives were changed through Guard Your Eyes:
“You have given me a returned sense of self dignity; an ability to not hide in shame, shake hands with people and not feel like a total liar, and renew my appreciation for my wife and my relationship with G-d. Thank you for giving me back my life!” —Michael
“I used to find myself in the middle of the battlefield without any kind of weapon to confront this horrible habit. But GuardYourEyes has given me powerful weapons. It’s the difference between trying to hit a nail with your bare hand and having a good hammer. Thank you for all the resources and tools. They have made a world of difference for me!” —Joey
“I never had a full-blown addiction. My problem was only when I found myself with the temptation right in my face (alone in front of unfiltered Internet, business trip in a hotel alone, etc). Thank G-d, since I joined GuardYourEyes I have not had one fall. Your tools really helped me. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate what you do!” —Adam
“I wish I had found GuardYourEyes earlier. I don’t want others to have to wait as long as I did. We need to get more people aware of this wonderful site which makes possible what seems impossible. Thank you!” —Sam
“I have tears in my eyes as I’m typing this. When I signed up for the program it seemed like a dream. But I made it! I can’t even begin to describe how much this journey has changed my life and marriage!” —Yaakov
“I’ve been struggling since age 9 and I never spoke to anybody about it. When I started reading your eBook guide, I couldn’t stop crying. It was the first time I saw that there was still hope for me to come out from this deep darkness. How can I thank you enough?” —Refael

Very Important Organization, there is really a Big Problem out there. But, what about the צניעות Issue! I ב״ה don’t have a issue with the Internet, but you simply can’t walk down the street anymore. I’m talking about the Frum neighborhoods! Long, Glamorous Shaitels, Tight clothes…….!!!
Maybe you need professional help if you can’t walk down the street.
#2 Very Sad, seems like you are נאבאך so desensitized to all the immorality that’s going on around you. May ה׳ send you a real התעוררות
#2 I forgot one thing, if and when that התעוררות comes, “Guard Your Eyes” might just be the perfect organization to help. גמר חתימה טובה
There is a famous story said about a well known tzaddik. I believe it was the Alter Satmerer Rebbe.
Someone once told him that he’s not affected by what he sees. “עס שׁאט מיר נישׁט”
The Rebbe responded,
“!!וויפיל האסטו שׁוין געזונדיגט אז עס שׁאט דיר נישׁט”
“How much have you already sinned so that you are no longer affected by this!”
Emes is a very important principle in Yiddishkeit. This should be labeled as a fundraiser. There are also other alternative filters. And even after filters there are other problems with internet use, time wasting, badmouthing others, and being overwhelmed with too much information. There are other threats to the kedusha of the Jewish people. So they are doing good work, but to claim that it is all up to Guard Your Eyes is not accurate. However, they seem to be a major sponsor of Yeshiva World News, and according to American business rules “He who pays the piper, calls the tune.” But isn’t this meant to be a Jewish website for Torah-true readers, ….. (really confusing)
@maitiv Gaurd Your Eyes in not a filter. It’s an advice and support organisation and I believe, a non-profit (and so I doubt they are sponsoring YWN).
They tackle a range of internet issues including time wasting. Given that this incredible organisation is taking the exact problems you think are highest priority, I hope you will be donating.

Maitiv, “Guard Your Eyes” is not a filter, like the “Tag” organization. It’s a one-of-a-kind organization that deals exclusively with people that were using unfiltered technology for some time and are Addicted to פראסט material, and are נאבאך Ruining their lives here (and in the world to come).
@ maitiv
Can you please enlighten us as to other organizations actively fighting the internet issue???? They seem to have ads on all major frum sites, perhaps to catch readers attention, don’t you think? I don’t see how that detracts one iota from their wonderful work.
