Is this the first “Article comment Farbreng…..???

Thanks for the info, a Gmar Chasima Tovah

This is the best comment I’ve ever read on any article on any website. Breath of fresh air. Zeros in straight to the core issue. This is something I’m currently struggling with, I feel that I’m being productive by being up to date with the news and any other “important” information out there. Spending hours and hours on it. But in truth, all this magnum opus of information did not add one iota in my Avodas Hashem.

Check out the article in this month’s Neshei chabad news letter from rabbi motti Lipsker on using technology the Rebbe’s view.
for what the rebbe actually holds not just hafatzah!…
hatzlacha rabbah gmar chasimah tovah

Just did that

Ask Mule Gurevitch from Lyon he knows more about this story Dacht Zich

I can’t figure out how to do it

In settings go to “Help” and submit.

If you don’t update at some time the whatsapp sends you a message that it will not work unless you update

you can also just not enter a bad website onto your unfiltered browser……
same logic

Sooner or later, they force you to update, or your app stops working.

Newspapers are also here to stay

& the Rebbe said that Bochrim should have no Shaychis to it whatsoever…

“fact is that for the vast majority of people the benefit of having WhatsApp far outweigh… any possible cons”

Well is it true? How many hours of screen time does a average Anash have on WhatsApp? If it’s more then a few minutes a day then it’s not for convenience, it’s for “killing time Chas Veshalom”

this is a call to all Anash, Men Woman Boys and Girls, take out your phone RIGHT NOW, don’t push it off. How many “Group time wasting” chats are you on? is it more then 1? more then 5? more then 10?? How many “news groups” & Loshon Harah groups are you on? how many wasteful statuses are you on?

No need for anyone to respond, just be real, to yourself, to the Eibeshter, to the Rebbe, Instead of everyone trying to think what the Rebbe would say pro vs. con, we can just look clearly what the Rebbe said about similar time consuming waste of time.

Instead of using this issue as a means of crying out Ad Masai after 3 Tammuz, let us do the right thing and actually bring prepare the world to greet Moshiach with Torah Mitzvos & proper time usage!

Thanks and I hope I didn’t hurt anyone personally if yes please forgive me.

I personally heard this story as a bochur from Rabbi Kalmenson, brunoy rosh yeshiva, this story occurred in the summer of 5734/1974.He said that they went to a beach resort place and parked in the parking lot, getting 150 tefillin in one hour, and yet the rebbe responded ( after submitting a duch ),”what are bochurim doing in such a place?

Thank you for mentioning this important point. It has unfortunately became the norm that many bochurim have smartphones with whatsapp etc… I wonder what the Rebbe would say about this

To who was this story and whe

This is a great story, do you perhaps have a source?

also it’s a problem if Bochrim or Teen girls get smartphones no matter how much it makes their life easier, if it’s wrong and nonkosher a Chassid should have no Kesher with such stuff

We Chassidm know that Torah & Mitzvos are 100% true and real, how can we give a non married person give up a inch of torah just to make life easier?

100%

While you certainly have a point, it is only true if the user is not absorbing from the technology at all. (For example, the Rebbe unequivocally condemned the use or ownership of television at home, but at the same time allowed and encouraged his farbrengens to be broadcast on the very same [forbidden] platform.)
So too, with this new feature – or any other – it must be used to spread yiddishkeit, but that does not excuse having it on one’s private device for personal use.

A guy once went to the beach with a bunch of tea-shirts and teffilin and when he saw someone jewish he would put the tea-shirt on him and put on teffilin with him. when he was done he sent a bunch of pictures of it to The Rebbe, and The Rebbe responded: “And who gave you permission to go on Mivtzoyim there?”

Would the Rebbe say that we should go into an inappropriate bar to do mivtzoim? Using technology should not be viewed as a wide-open rule to using all technology. In some cases, as in the one being discussed here, using technology can be equivalent to entering such a bar.
