Do Not EAT Your Cell Phones-They May Not Be Kosher
Gedolei Yisroel Caution Public Not to Use Unapproved Cell Phones
Shema Yisroel Network
Gedolei Yisroel are issuing instructions to stop using cell phones not approved by Vaadas HaRabbonim LeInyonei Tikshoret now that Mirs, Pelephone and Cellcom all provide kosher cellular services—and therefore there is an alternative for everyone.
Vaadas HaRabbonim, which was appointed by gedolei Torah from all streams and backgrounds, has been working to reach a solution to avoid the stumbling-blocks brought about by unapproved cell phones, which are exposed to the spiritually detrimental elements of life far from Torah and mitzvas. The rabbonim worked in cooperation with telecom and computer experts as well as top jurists, including Attorney Yaakov Weinroth.
Six months ago a breakthrough was made when Mirs announced that it was willing to provide kosher cell phones and a block of distinct phone numbers designated for the religious public. After thousands of Jews heeded the calls by their rabbonim to join Mirs, one month ago Pelephone and Cellcom followed suit.
Now approved cell phones are readily available through three large companies, with competition to keep costs low.
In light of the new development, Maran HaRav Eliashiv, the Admor of Gur, HaRav Shmuel Halevy Wosner and HaRav Ovadia Yosef issued an announcement on Tuesday warning against the great danger inherent in cell phones, which have transformed into a tool of destruction for yetzer hora, and instructing those who must use cell phones to use only models approved by Vaadas HaRabbonim.
This important achievement, which was intended to save Jewish souls both young and old, is being hailed by both educators and parents alike.
Who are these clowns talking to?
KOSHER cell phones are NOT the answer, instill Yiras Shomayim in the kids by setting examples for them to follow, not by mouthing idiotic assinine prohibitions!
Get a life you idiots, this information you are trying to hide is everywhere!

The Rosh Yeshiva of Mir collected cellphones because of bittul Toireh. How many idiots were actually downloading porn via cellphones? Very few.
But, wasting their lives blabbing (unless they were blogging), all.
But, what about Mommy who needs to talk to Yanky and Yitzie? The bachurim who waste time blahblahblahing to each other should learn mussar, and Mommy should let go.
Right on, Rabbi Dr. UOJ.
You have instilled yiras shomayim in us all.
gotta go. You can call me during mincha or maariv, or during the chupah at a chasunah in Lakewood. thanks.
And what, give up the residual money a hechsher on cell phones would provide?
I don't think so! These guys would put hechshers on WATER and WATER FiLTERS if they could get away with it.
kelsey,stop molesting UOJ
i would like to buy a kosher cellphone. what flavors do they come in?
i nominate uoj to become our gadol.
tell the world.
(he knows more than the munkatcher ruv, and owns more real estate too...
My Rav said I had to buy a new cell phone from his son because mine was milkick and since I ate fleishik (a corned beef sandwich) while driving and talking that my cell phone was now traif!
Rachel,
You should slap your rav around!
erev rosh hashonah!
oi l'elboiyna shel toirah.
Why should she, when you can...
im not why regular phones werent put under certification, since any phone could be used to call a 1900 number or an escort service!
you can do averios with your vegatables!
Does that mean we will soon require every jew to have a hechsher implanted in their brain!
i have never thought of doing an aveirah with a vegetable.
Please don't hit anyone.
uoj, will you make certain their hekhsher has tsvei simanim?
I heard there is a new kashrus agency being formed with shimush in cell phones.
The head of that agency is going to be the Cellcatcher rebbe,a first cousin to the Putzover rebbe whose daughter married the Shmuckover's son.
These guys will protect our kids from doing aveiras with cell phones.
the putzover is zehr choshuv.
uoj you wrong !of course you need yiras shomayim but when a nissyon is stuck in someone face he can't not be expected to be yosef htzadik it will be as the gemra says ma yasah h"ben vloh yechta
No self respecting yeshiva bochur looks at forbidden images, it has nothing to do with cell phones.
NOBODY is sticking it in his face!!!!!
uoj is right.
When he was (as he continues to be) the star student in the history of his "right wing" yeshiva, he never looked at a cellphone.
v'ho-rayoh.
case closed.
Hey, I go to see your blog everyday and you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a cellular mobile phone t site/blog. It pretty much covers ##KEYWORD## related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time mate :-)
Hi ##NAME##, your blog is excellent. As I was surfing around today looking for detailed info on ##LINK## I somehow ended up on your page. As your described site, ##TITLE## is not exactly related to my search, I am certainly glad I stopped by. Oh well, back to surfing and I am sure I will find what I am looking for, and should you ever need information about prepaid cellular phone service, then stop by for a look. Thanks for the post.
