QUESTION:
If someone has filtered Internet which he uses only for work purposes, can he also use it for Zoom for Torah learning? If a person won’t use Zoom and he won’t learn Torah, why isn’t that bittul Torah? If people won’t use Zoom today then they won’t learn Torah!!
ANSWER:
The Torah was given amidst a state of trembling, awe and fear of G-d. But if one’s Torah learning is being nursed from the “Erev Rav”, that is exactly the opposite of the Torah as it was given at Sinai. Sometimes, “ceasing from Torah study will upkeep the Torah.” There is no mitzvah to learn Torah using Zoom. Compare it to a person who can only learn Torah by walking into a place of idol worship.
