Massive Asifa on dangers of the Internet and technology to take place at Citi field stadium on may 20th 2012

 A massive gathering preempting the Siyum hashas, by Ichud Hakehillos, bringing together Yidden from all over the US is planned for Sunday Iyar 28 – May 20th 2012 at Citi Field in Queens, NY.
This comes as a result of the Asifas Harabonim which was held this past Elul at a conference center in Newark, N.J. where over 600 Rabbonim from all sectors of Klal Yisroel gathered to discuss ways to combat the ever growing challenges of the internet.
The gathering named " Klal yisroel"  is being called by The Skulener Rebbe Shlita ,Rabbi Matisyahu Salamon, Mashgiach of Lakewood yeshiva, The Skver Rebbe as well as all leading Admorim and Roshei Yeshivos of the united states.
At the gathering, practical ideas and methods will be presented which will enable individuals and kehillas to implement practical and realistic safeguards to help overcome the ever growing technological threats that faces our communities. These ideas will be further tailored to accommodate the specific needs of the varying communities and kehilas.
The common thread is to ensure that the internet is only used via a filter of some sort. At the Asifa they plan on introducing a Tech Hotline for all communities to assist all with their tech questions and offer solutions and guidance.
 Notices will be printed in this week’s papers and that the cooperation between all of the various groups involved including all major media venues is unprecedented. B’’H there is a tremendous feeling of excitement in the air by the unparalleled Achdus.

    This is a total joke. The askanim behind this are pressuring roshei yeshiva to join in their cause. They did nothing since the big asifa in newark with over 600 Rabbonim who were all invited to come. this is only making noise while offering no practical solutions.

    Wonder if Agudah is upset by this event as taking away from the excitment of the Siyum Hashas juat 2 Months later on August 1 2012.

    There is no ssolution just like there is no solution for a regular telephone which can be used for good and for bad. The only answer is education, which we shy away from for some odd reason.
