When I was "left kiruv" for the "private sector" in 2006 (read: sitting at a desk for a minimum of 8 hours and barely speaking with people), Facebook was still only available for college students. You have excellently shown many of the benefits of staying "connected". Social networking is how many teens communicate today and I am always happy to hear when it's being used properly.NeilSHarrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339382027592667813.post-836671760020813422012-08-27T17:28:48.783-04:002012-08-27T17:28:48.783-04:00I agree with every word.

I used to consider myself to be horrible at keeping in touch, but now that its easy, I am able to stay in touch with so many people that I shared such good times with! Social Networking makes connection with people from out of your town easier and more practical.Shainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339382027592667813.post-17619077097996007152012-08-26T21:15:45.211-04:002012-08-26T21:15:45.211-04:00This is the most popular argument but I dont agree...This is the most popular argument but I dont agree for 3 reasons. First, its incorrect that most teens use it for the wrong reasons. I looked at most of the campers friends and found that those that dont mix with the opposite genders in real life dont do it on facebook <br />either. There are exceptions of course but its a small minority and I dont think all teenagers should suffer because some are misusing facebook. It general I dont buy the idea that if something can be misused we should not allow it. On the contrary we should teach proper use, otherwise you will end up forbidding everything.DovidTeitelbaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339382027592667813.post-73334088934989169072012-08-26T15:58:27.934-04:002012-08-26T15:58:27.934-04:00its very true and it could bring a lot of good but...its very true and it could bring a lot of good but most teens dont use the network the right way accepting a friend is much easier then calling one including the oppisite gender! sara ariyevanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339382027592667813.post-4202156227490839242012-08-26T10:51:51.120-04:002012-08-26T10:51:51.120-04:00lets not get carried away here.Baby steps please.lets not get carried away here.Baby steps please.DovidTeitelbaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339382027592667813.post-45351016535785881842012-08-26T09:29:07.063-04:002012-08-26T09:29:07.063-04:00If we got the Gadol 's to get Facebook's, ...If we got the Gadol 's to get Facebook's, they would lightenup a bit.. .they could keep in touch with one another....and have international Torah shiurim.....not to mention what kinds of debates they could have from the comforts of their homes!! They would be up to date on the latest in Jewish news, and they would have like a bijillion friends.....yea they would get spamed here and there, but (not that I approve of a filter) we can get them some high end kapirsky virus and popup control.
