There
are three things that are called an ‘Os’, a sign that a person is
Jewish. These are Shabbos, Teffilin and Shmiras Habris. While there
are many publications and organizations that promote the observance
of Shabbos and the use of Teffilin, the topic of Shmiras Habris is
almost completely ignored. According
to the Kabbalah, Shmiras Habris is the most important of the three.
In addition, any person that is Shomer Habris properly is constantly
dressed by a spirit of holiness and is easily able to observe the
other commandments in the Torah. Feel free to print and study the
PDF's below. For more information, please visit briskodesh.org

The
first step to becoming shomer habrit is to guard your eyes and the
best way to do that is not to have improper content lying around the
house. One big problem is the internet. For me personally I felt like
there was no filter which could block everything and also not give me
access to changing my settings and thereby having access to
everything all over again. Therefore I came up with a solution using
the k-9 web protection system which is free! If you are ready to
install just move on to the steps outlined below and follow the
instructions to download the internet filter for free. The steps
below will tell you how to download it but also how to change the
email address on your account so you do not have access to changing
your settings.
If
you aren’t convinced or want to know the philosophy behind why you
should have it and learn some Torah please read on and scroll down to
the PDF's below.
There
is a gemara which says if a man comes upon a fork on the road and one
way is women who are improperly dressed and another way there aren’t
any women and both roads take him home; if he chooses the road with
the women thinking he is gonna pass a test and not look, the gemara
calls him a rasha. We are never supposed to test ourselves and the
reason for this is simple. The entire point of creation is for us to
become one with Hashem. This is done by letting go of the self and
the ego in order to allow Hashem to be everything. When a person
creates a test for him/herself and passes it he is doing the
opposite. He is saying I did it! I is the problem here. Having
internet filter is not just for people who suffer from porn addiction
but even the Gedolim (women also have to have it) have to have it if
they want to use internet. It is strictly halacha. Please follow the
steps below which will lead you to installing an internet filter in
less than 10 minutes and free yourself from this unnecessary test and
from the avaira of having a computer without the filter and also the
likely outcome of looking at improper things on your shoulders as
well. The steps below will tell you how to download it but also how
to change the email address on your account so you do not have access
to changing your settings.

it on your computer.
After

hand side click on web categories to block. Then choose custom and
click on the following to block: pornography, adult/mature content,
alternative sexuality lifestyles, LGBT, intimate apparel/
swimsuit, sex education, nudity, also to protect your computer from
viruses select the following: spyware/ malware sources, spyware
effects, phishing. The rest of the categories are safe and so you
can deselect them if you like. Also if you have a website which you
see its not blocking but want blocked you can click on website
exceptions and add it to list of websites to block. Also make sure
you deselect the other categories other than the ones listed if you
do not want them blocked. But please keep in mind that the
categories listed are HIGHLY recommended to block.
Now
on the left icon choose change password and choose a random 15 digit
number which you will not remember. Write it down so that you can
confirm the password being that you have to write it two times.
After you wrote it down tear up the paper and throw it out. After
that click on change email as well. You do not want to have your
email there because there is an option which will just send you your
password and then you will have access to all this content again. A
person should never put himself at risk and even if you feel 100%
strong that you wouldn’t look at them you should still change the
email to shomerhabris@yahoo.com.
