ON THE CUTTING EDGE: “Kosher” Search Engine
Koogle - a “kosher” search engine (the name is a portmanteau of the Jewish noodle pudding and Google) - was developed to allow ultra-Orthodox Jews to browse the Web, reports Reuters:
The site … omits religiously objectionable material, such as most photographs of women which Orthodox rabbis view as immodest …
Its links to Israeli news and shopping sites also filter out items most ultra-Orthodox Israelis are forbidden by rabbis to have in their homes, such television sets. …
Nothing can be posted on the Jewish Sabbath, when religious law bans all types of work and business.
