Your child has been thrown out of the school. The reason? You don’t have a kosher cell phone

The BCC has an article concerning the whole entire ‘kosher cell phone’ frenzy that is surging across Israel in the Hareti sector.

So apparently, text messaging is not kosher, taking pictures or having a camera on your cell phone is not kosher, and being able to check the internet isn’t kosher either. So you can’t take a picture of your friends learning, or text your chavrusa you’ll be late, or check the stocks to make you pray harder to Hashem.

EVERYTHING can be abused to do sins. But this is over the top. B”H it really hasn’t penetrated the US however it is sad to see that Haredi people in Israel are now thinking that a shidduch can be ruined because a family has an ‘unkosher’ cell phone!

I repeat that bracha I wish Hashem would give us all from my previous comment on a previous post
