Ambush

A fine American-style yeshiva in Flatbush has a lounge for Rebbeim. For the use of the Rebbeim and teachers there is a computer placed there with Internet access. A G-d fearing, earnest, hard working Rebbe goes on-line to check his finances during break. Other Rebbeim happen to be present.
Upon opening the browser he is confronted by the default home page - MSN, with a prominent and prost entertainment feature, including provocative pictures. He sets about doing a search, because he's never done this before. Either due to his choice of search engine, or due to a typo, he is confronted by a pop-up ad of an entertainer more unclothed than clothed.

He stands up and walks away from the computer, never to return, and becomes a fierce opponent of internet.

This is a true story, but what is wrong with this picture?

1. Every yeshiva should have filtering.
2. Even if the yeshiva refuses to have filtering, the home page can and should be changed to an appropriate one (Yated, perhaps)
3. Explorer and Firefox contain a pop-up blocker which must be activated

Why wasn't all of this, or at least the last two, done? Because we don't schecht and salt chazer.

Once the 'net became chazer, the most minimal precautions are not taken, and not even talked about. And the latter two are simple indeed.

Soon the whole country will be connected wirelessly. Without educating our children, not only Rebbeim in a Yeshiva will fall victim.

Everyone with a laptop will, too.
