Shlomo Aviner, one of Religious Zionism’s leading rabbis, has stated that responses to articles on websites should not be read due to fears that doing so would lead to religious and moral transgressions.
In a conversation with Ynet, Rabbi Aviner stressed that this isn’t a halachic decree or a comprehensive ban from a higher rabbinic authority, it is a ruling he gave to his students after receiving a question via text message which asked: “After reading a ’kosher’ article is it all right to take a look at the talkbacks?”
The rabbi’s response: “No, due to major fears that it would lead to ’lashon hara’ (gossip, slander), humiliation and valueless time consumption”. The question and answer session was published in the Maayanei Hayeshua weekly which is given out in synagogues.
Le Monde préfère nous informer de l’odieuse censure du Web par Hugo Chavez. Pourtant, avec les rabbins israéliens, on a largement de quoi rigoler.
