In Almost all these stories you can subsitute ANY modern technilogical invention.
The automobile works especially well, but you can add the telephone, Cameras almost ANTHING that is found in your average ehrich family in Borough Park or Lakewood.
Imagine the following story, there is a person who knows he is jewish , but knows very few jews. He figures he will go on the internet and find out about judaism. So he googles Judaism and because most Charedim have banned the internet. He goes to a Jews for J site as they have not banned the internet and it comes up in the search. 6 months later he is now a full fledged Jew for J.
Luckily Chabad doesnt belive in these ideals and a Google of Judaism Chabad comes out on top (At least in my google test), So this story isnt exactly true (It once was however)
