No frum Yid NEEDS to know the news at all. None of the news is really vital for survival. This platform is made for Yidden like us who have a hard time overcoming our temptation to see the news.
Unfortunately, if they would only have very Jewish and frum stuff, many of us would still be tempted to look at the non-Jewish news platforms to know what’s happening in the world. Therefore, they have worldly news as well (albeit in a kosher fashion) to help us overcome this temptation.
A person on the caliber of OP should definitly not be using this news site, and probably shouldn’t be using the internet at all. It will not harm you whatsoever to stay in Yeshiva/Kolel/Shul and spend your time learning Torah without checking out the news – frum or worldly.
A big shoutout and thank you to REB ELIEZER שליט”א for all your help and dedication to making the CR a holier and more Torah’dike place for all of us!
