Internet threat to Israel, say rabbis
By Alan Philps in Jerusalem
ISRAEL'S leading orthodox rabbis have issued a ruling banning the
internet from Jewish homes, arguing that it is "1,000 times more
dangerous than television" and threatens the survival of the country.
The ruling, issued by the Council of Torah Sages, is an attempt by
the rabbis to halt the inŞltration of "sin and abomination" from the
internet into the homes of the ultra-orthodox, whose children have
hitherto been shielded from the temptations of the modern world.
The rabbis recalled that they had banned television 30 years ago, and
said that the dangers from the internet were even greater. They said
it "puts the future generations of Israel in grave danger in a way that
no
other threat has since Israel became a nation".

Jeez! Took the media long enough to notice.
Orthodox bulletins had been posted on bulletin pillars in Jerusalem and
Bnei Brak for months now, saying this.
In the mean time, Orthodox Jews in Israel will continue to use the
Internet
in
their offices, where many have programming jobs.
