<div><br></div><div>Basically social media, texting, blogs, porn is bad for the religious soul. </div><div>In israel they came up with phones that don't have Internet and text capabilities. But in order to enforce it they came up with specific exchanges that identify the number as a kosher phone. Therefore congregants that don't have a kosher number could be called up by their rabbi how come they don't have one. </div>
<div><br></div><div>In the case of the oven (btw, you'll be surprised how many home appliances have this observant feature) a religious Jew is prohibited to change temps on a oven on sabbath as well as prohibited from putting anything into a hot oven. So if one wants hot food 14 hours into the sabbath their only option if they are using an oven is to have the oven run non stop for the entire sabbath. Because most modern ovens have a safety feature of turning the oven off after 12 hours or so they have the observant feature to bypass that. </div>

Hi, does anyone know where I can get an Israel "kosher" DID for a calling card? (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_Israel#Kosher_Numbers" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/<u></u>wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_<u></u>Israel#Kosher_Numbers</a>)<br>

I have to admit my ignorance and curiosity. (I was 'stunned' when I discovered that my oven was 'observant.')<br>
<br>
Can you explain what is a Kosher number?<br>
