Satmar Rebbe Against WhatsApp Groups

At the Nielas Hachag in Satmar the Admor spoke about the spiritual damage wrought by WhatsApp groups.

The Admor said that in the past they came out against computers and with Hashem's help were successful even though many had said it was a lost battle. The Admor said, "After that came the battle against cell phones which we also succeeded in introducing safe guards and boundaries.

" Now we have the problem of the "groups". This problem is worse than that of the Smartphone. I don't have one of these phones but it was explained to me that groups have 100-200 members and many of these members are connected to other groups, so each word that is written can reach thousands.

"This is Lashon Harah, Halbanas Panim, kfirah and other terrible sins", the Admor said.

Bechadrey Charedim has learned that after many people left the Satmar WhatsApp groups after the Admor's talk.

The words of the Admor of Satmar join those of the Rebebes of Ger, Vishnitz and Sanz.
