Caught in the Web
Ultra-Orthodox Rabbis had banned the internet right from the start. They did the same with Television and national Radio, and no one said a word. But when it comes to the digital world, it seems like they are losing the battle. The recent Covid-19 epidemic just made it clearer: the Haredi society refuses to stay unplugged.
