Chasidic Leaders Caution Children: Stay Clear of Technology “Like a Venomous Snake”

The Risks of Technology: A Warning for Gerer Children

The Gerer chasidim have recently issued a special pamphlet dedicated to the memory of fallen soldier David Schwartz, warning their children about the perils of technology. According to a report by B’Chadrei Charedim, the pamphlet includes a list of regulations and pictorial explanations to emphasize the importance of eschewing technological devices. The Gerer community considers this not just a good attribute, but a halachic requirement, as they believe the Yetzer Hara is attempting to lead them astray through advanced technology.
