Rabbi Offers Prayer for Web Porn Browsers
Wed January 21, 2004 08:25 AM ET

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli rabbi has composed a prayer to help devout Jews overcome guilt after visiting porn web sites while browsing the Internet.
"Please God, help me cleanse the computer of viruses and evil photographs which disturb and ruin my work..., so that I shall be able to cleanse myself (of sin)," reads the benediction by Shlomo Eliahu, chief rabbi in the northern town of Safed.

Eliahu, quoted by Israel's largest daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, said he had responded to a deluge of queries from Orthodox Jews worried that the lure of Internet sex sites was putting family relationships at risk.

The rabbi recommends that Jews recite the prayer when they log on to the Internet or even program it to flash up on their computer screens so they are spiritually covered whether they enter a porn site intentionally or by mistake.

a little over the top for me, but I guess if you are trying to keep your bases covered...

I've forwarded this to my realtor since he's orthodox and we'll see his take on this.

it's good to know that somebody is praying for me :P

I'm gonna tattoo that prayer on my forehead. But backwards, so I can read it in the reflection on my monitor.

Might be good for a MOD to put it in the TB as an additional thread. I could peruse it before viewing porn, then wouldn't feel so bad when looking at T&A at work.

I lay hands on my... uh computer, yeah, that's it, after visiting porn sights... does that count.

I suddenly feel bad... for that Rabbi, give him five minutes at Freeones.com and he'll change his tune.

Hahah, you guys are terrible.

Basically God is a guy with a powerful electromagnet, he's like Magneto or something.

All your hard drive are belong to God.

hmmmmmmmmm
i guess something had to be said sometime.

Praise the Rabbi!

For saving me from the PORN sites of the world.

Ahhhh!! I feel so much better.

Now really, doesn't Rabbi's have more important things to do that worry about people visiting porn sites, how about giving out a prayer to the WAR that is going on.

V.

Thanks god I'm saved! :D

ROFL! :D "Heres a little 'prayer'. Surf away son!" A little prayer and know your covered when your getting ready to enjoy photography? Seems rediculous to me. I could see asking forgiveness after your done maybe...but knowing your going to "sin" from these images is ok, as long as you ask Him to help you delete the files when your done?
