Admitting the Value of Bloggers

Mishpacha Magazine has published a very revealing interview with Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zweibel. He has in fact given credit to bloggers for raising the painful issues of abuse and getting organizations like his (Agudah) to address them in ways  that have not been addressed heretofore. It is an article worth reading. An excerpt can be seen on FM’s blog.

What a Joke!

Hmmm..... Maybe Charedim do know the value of the interent after all.

They are using the very social media they hope to filter out of their homes to promote a gathering dedicated to that proposition! This picture (note the I-Pad) and the accompanying story in the Forward makes a mockery of the entire enterprise and makes Ultra-Orthodoxy look foolish and stupid! Unbelievable!

How ironic is THIS! Lakewood's Mashgiach, HaRav Matisyahu Salomon is pushing this big internett Asifa telling everyone that despite the reality of the internet, one is better off without it... that it is the great Nisayon of our day; that filters and the like are at best a B'Dieved but a reality nonetheless...and I get this in my inbox today???

Wassupwidat?!

I guess when it comes to money, the internet isn't such a Satan after all - is it? Or maybe the right hand doesn't' know what the left hand is doing? Nah...! It's about the money. They need it. I get it.
