Reply To: Cell phones you filter in Israel

Thanks for the suggestions… I heard a new iphone is supposed to be coming out soon so maybe the older versions will be available for fairly cheap.

I’m sorry this turned into some sort of hashkafa debate. Old Man – with regards to your original comment, I don’t mean to be rude but you have no idea where I come from, my childhood and what I’ve been exposed to in my life (and frankly it’s none of your business). My decisions for what kind of phone I’d like aren’t just because some pashkvil or “gadol” I’ve never heard of said to buy a certain phone – it’s based of my own frank cheshbon hanefesh. For me a filtered phone is “controlling myself.” Even if Rav Ovadia and Rav Eliyashiv were both to tell me an unfiltered phone was perfectly muttar for the klal I still wouldn’t want one because that’s just not where I’m holding. If you are bothered by my personal yetzer haras and how I guard myself from them then why don’t you “Go to the one who made me and tell Him what an ugly vessel He made.”
