Reply To: TEXTING ON SHABBOS

I am not sure if the texting on Shabbos problem only stems from a lack of respect and understanding of Shabbos. Many reknowned frum psychologists who specialize in teens discuss the ADDICTION to texting. They compare it to any other addiction, like drugs, alchohol and gambling. Maybe if we approach the problem from that angle, and focus on the fact that texting “relationships” are generally shallow and can sometimes be dangerous, we might get more results than lectures about Kedushas Shabbos.
