Reply To: Yeshiva Principal Enforcing No-Cell-Phone Policy; Proper Or Not?

We must diffrentiate between having a cell phone and using it. Two years ago Shulamith Parents were lectured about the pitfalls of cell phones and texting. I asked the then principal, Rabbi Lieberman, if he was suggesting not having cell phones. The response was very clear. Outside of School cell phones should be considered MANDATORY for many safety reasons. In School phones are to be OFF.
