kosher cell phone

Last night I had the privilege of spending some time with a sweet young woman named Grace. She was raised in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish family, and while she is not following that faith now, she is still very connected with her family. She began explaining the foolishness of a kosher cell phone. Data plans are not allowed. Texting is not allowed. On Sabbath, incoming and outgoing calls face a large fine. In addition to these restrictions, her family has blocked any outgoing calls. So basically, she can only receive calls, and only on particular days. We are so fortunate to have the freedoms we have!

More to come later.
