QUESTION:
I have Internet, but I don’t have Facebook, Twitter or Link-Ad. I don’t like social media. I only use Signal and Whatsapp for getting in touch with friends on the other side of the world. I can’t hear that well so I can’t communicate by phone, so my whole way of communicating with others is through e-mail and messaging them. My husband uses Facebook only for shiurim, and sometimes also to keep up with family and friends in Israel. I only use Internet for Torah sites, such as the Bilvavi, Aish HaTorah, Bresslov, Chabad sites.
Without Internet I won’t be able to access any Torah sites. I wouldn’t be able to get any e-mails so I wouldn’t be able to get the weekly Bilvavi e-mail. Can I just have Internet for only Torah sites? And also for some basic secular sites which keep me well-informed on health, cooking, etc.?

ANSWER:
It would be very important for you to allow a connection only for the e-mailing service, and that is how you should receive all the information and Torah material you need.
It seems to you that you are losing out on so much by not having Internet, but you should that now deep down, in the inner dimension, you are receiving great spiritual light by keeping away from Internet: the light of Hashem, the light which all neshamos desire to become connected with.
