My sister got a “heter” from the Lakewood rabbanim because she is deaf and its her primary form of communication with family and friends.
I question this only because if the internet is that bad, why would this be acceptable? Technically, she can use a TTY/VCO system which is annoying, but if the internet “has no place in a Jewish home” how can this be allowed?
I’m not complaining because it makes communicating with my sister much easier, but just curious why this is allowed.
