Rabbi invents prayer for porn-surfing Jews
An Israeli rabbi has invented a prayer to help Jews overcome the guilt of visiting pornographic websites.
The benediction by Shlomo Eliahu says: "Please God, help me cleanse the computer of viruses and evil photographs which disturb and ruin my work..., so that I shall be able to cleanse myself (of sin)."
Mr Eliahu said he had seen a marked increase in the number of men who had come to him to confess their internet sins.
The callers said they were worried that the time they were spending surfing for porn was ruining their family lives, the daily Yedioth Ahronoth reports.
The rabbi recommends that Jews recite the prayer when they log on, or even programme it to flash up on their computer screens so they are spiritually covered whether they enter a dodgy site intentionally or by mistake.
