Rav Amnon Yitzhak on smart-phone
Ynet reports that the Tele-Rebbe Amnon Yitzhak, who organised a rally destroying TVs, officiated at a New Testament burning and claims miracles, also declares he has a heter- special dispensation for using a forbidden smart-phone from HaRav Aaron Yehuda Leib Shteinman Shlita
.
While senior ultra-Orthodox rabbis are stepping up their war on smartphones and imposing personal sanctions on haredi Jews using the “forbidden device,” one religious leader appears to have special privileges.
Rabbi Amnon Yitzhak says that prominent Lithuanian leader, Rabbi Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman, has given him and his followers permission to use iPhones “for repentance purposes”.
