I was careful to have only Jewish tapes and CD's, and "clean" pictures and books in our home, and no outside newspapers, magazines or a television were ever allowed into our home.

As I needed a computer for work I Had the modem removed before I even brought it into the house so that there was absolutely no chance that anyone could access the outside world; for me the computer has always been a "glorified typewriter".

When I want to print a document I print it and fax it. The convenience of just pressing a button to send something through the computer is not worth the terrible danger of being able to access the outside world and all its filth.

I also never allowed any games to be played on the computer either. All those games are not at all as "innocent" as they seem. Even the "clean" ones are still educating our children to outside values that are absolutely anti-ethical to yiddishkeit. For instance, is it a Jewish value that it's perfectly acceptable to shoot and kill in order to win a game? Even if it's the "good" guy who's killing the "bad" guys - murder - because that's what it really is, is absolutely forbidden by the Torah (we're not discussing self-defence when someone wants to kill you here). By playing these games your children are losing their sensitivity to Jewish hashkafa; in their place they are absorbing foreign values and behaviour.

I was careful with all these things because my aim was to have a "clean" home where our children would only absorb the purity and beauty of yiddishkeit, and not have it diluted or blunted by foreign influences, G-d forbid.
