In May, over 40,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews met for a religious rally about the dangers of the Internet at Citi Field, home of the New York Mets.
Though a minority of faith leaders promote banning the Internet outright, Adler and many others advocate that removes questionable sites while allowing access to religious content.
“The majority seem to understand that there is a need for (the Internet) in the business world and there is a need for it in Torah study,” Adler said. “There are so many religious sites and so much material that can be gained from the Internet.”
