We tried to have Rav Feldman's letter printed in the Mishpacha magazine, to boost awareness of the dangers of the Internet and to spread the word about our work for those who may have fallen in. However, the Rabbinical advisory board of Mishpacha magazine contacted Rav Feldman and explained that there was a concern that people who did not struggle with these issues would check out our websites and forum just out of curiosity, and they may see things there that could bring them to "hirhurim". The Rosh Yeshiva agreed with this concern and has instead signed a second letter (Letter 4 above) that is more neutral. The new letter does not mention the word "pornography", nor does it mention our website. It just mentions "the materials and handbooks of the 'Guard Your Eyes' program" for men who have fallen into an addiction of viewing "inappropriate material". At the bottom of the letter, we posted an e-mail address where people can write in to "find out more about our program". This new letter makes it a lot easier to publish in the mainstream religious newspapers and magazines, and it also makes it much easier for ALL OF YOU WHO ARE READING THIS to print it out and hang it up (when no one sees) in your local shuls, shtiblach and Batei Medrashim. The letter can be downloaded above – Letter 4. (Just right-click and press "Save Target/Link As"). PLEASE help us save hundreds of Yiddishe Neshamos! Print out a bunch of copies and spread it around your community!
Note: In areas where Internet usage is basically universal – such as in the more Modern Orthodox venues, the Rosh Yeshiva Rav Feldman agrees that the letter that does mention our website should be publicized (Letters 1 & 3 above).
