Yes fellow commentors, it is sincere. And although you seem unaware, it is Aseres Yemei Teshuvah. It’s not too late for you – although you will need help.

Does the size of the pidyan make a difference?

Similarities between Kosher phone and non-kosher phone.

Both may ring during davening.
Both may be used for loshon hara.
Both will take precious time away from learning.

Let’s all go back to the rotary phone.

Bedafka that’s why they went to the Rebbe on Rosh Hashana- because no one has their phone with them.

my phone is parve although it fell in the chicken soup once. It is not really treif since I don’t use it when I eat milchiks. can I still bring a kevetel??

And is a “kosher” phone really kosher if it’s being used for Loshon Hara and Nivel Peah. I don’t see how these stories can be taken at face value.

Isn’t this a bit overdone. Are the rebbe’s gaaboim going to install a metal detector and search everyone seeking a baracha for a cellphone and test whether the phone has internet access? Should kvitlach be denied to somone who may not yet be ready to cut the links with the internet world but is nonetheless seeking support and encouragement from the rebbe to move closer to yiddeshkeit?
