Facebook

Facebook. What could be wrong with Facebook??? Allows you to connect with friends! Social networking!! Awesome!!:-) I love friends.

As one who is dedicated to creating peace and harmony between man and wife, this would definitely rate as a drawback.

We fast on the tenth of teves because on that day Nevuchadneztar laid a siege on Jerusalem. No destruction yet. Just the BEGINNING of the end. Being on facebook often spells the beginning of the end of a marriage. The fact is that after you are married for a while it stops being EXCITING [for most people]. There are benefits to being married for an extended period of time such as stability and TRUE love and much, much more. But people are looking for excitement and new experiences [more on the phenomenon of the need for "new" in a later blog bez"H] and apparently meeting people on Facebook provides that.

Let us ALL be careful. אין אפוטרופוס לעריות.

Thanks HeChosson Reb Yitzchak Buckingholtz for the "mareh makom".
