Rav Chaim kanievsky issues letter to upcoming Asifa.
In a special letter dated chof daled Iyar for those attending the Asifa, Rav Chaim kanievsky writes about the danger of the internet. It has taken many from the best homes and caused them to transgress. It is the Yetzer hora of avoda zara and Giluy arayos of our times. We must come together and formulate concrete ideas and solutions and figure out a way how to combat and get rid of this yetzer hora. He commends the gedolim in america for arranging an Asifa bringing together tens of thousands yereim and shleimim to be mechazek and combat this yetzer. The letter concludes that there is absolutely no heter to use the internet without a filter even for parnasah or anything else. One must use guidance as to what kind of filter is proper and kosher for his internet use. Hopefully they will work on a Kosher internet in the near future so and find ways how to avoid this michshol.
