Religiously devout Jews barred by rabbis from surfing the Internet may now 'Koogle' it on a new 'kosher' search engine, the site manager said yesterday.
Yossi Altman said Koogle, a play on the names of a Jewish noodle pudding and the ubiquitous Google, appears to meet the standards of Orthodox rabbis, who restrict use of the web to ensure followers avoid viewing sexually explicit material.
The site, at www.koogle.co.il (http://www.koogle.co.il/), omits religiously objectionable material, such as most photographs of women (:laugh:) which Orthodox rabbis view as immodest, Altman said.

Safe surfing: Devout Jews can't view sexually explicit material on Koogle

Its links to Israeli news and shopping sites also filter out items most ultra-Orthodox Israelis are forbidden by rabbis to have in their homes, such a television sets.

'This is a kosher alternative for ultra-Orthodox Jews so that they may surf the Internet,' Altman said by telephone.

The site was developed in part at the encouragement of rabbis who sought a solution to the needs of ultra-Orthodox Jews to browse the Web particularly for vital services, he said.

Nothing can be posted on the Jewish Sabbath, when religious law bans all types of work and business, Altman said.

'If you try to buy something on the Sabbath, it gets stuck and won't let you,' he said.

Interesting.
But how do you make an Internet website Kosher???????

[Vulpix]

You don't. The search engine will prioritize and ignore accordingly.

Ban all criticism of Israel, 'neo-conservatives', AIPAC and forbid any mention of the USS Liberty as well as any discussion of race whatsoever

There are anti-Zionist orthdox Jews out in the world.

For example:

http://www.nkusa.org/

http://www.jewsnotzionists.org/

I suppose the belief is is that the vast majority of Jews hold more belief in the secular ideas of Herzl than the religious ideas of Moses.

'If you try to buy something on the Sabbath, it gets stuck and won't let you,' he said. I sort of like the idea of a very strict "Do nothing" policy for one day of the week.

Everyone needs a time to relax. ...and so often our "time off" is busier than our time "on"!

Sounds great. Maybe the Orthodox Jooos will stop censoring Youtube, Google or Dailymotion, Facebook etc ?

But they're such a small minority- their great gasp of disgust at the evils of the world is more or less a whisper. :rolleyes:

So, no jew would use that :D

At least orthodox Jew women don't wear burlap bags over their heads like Muslim women.

[Útrám]

Didn't they already have google?

It looks like it's a head scarf or a bandana? :confused:

[Atlas]

Some ederly Catholic women also wear these kind of headscarf.

Headscarves are also common in Southern Russia (both amongst Orthodox and Muslims). Another tidbit, in Russian prisons all the women wear headscarves as part of their "prison uniform".

[Cato]

Well, whatever it is it's not as ugly as those burlap bags that Muslim women are stuffed into in countries like Afghanistan.

The owners of Google are alleged to be Jewish.
