So if you want to rely on that, that's fine as well.
Really what I wanted to rely on is I was just going to turn on the light in the bedroom that I was staying in because the lights, the candles don't really add so much light.
The light in the bedroom is the light that I was going to use, but I wasn't going to get into a whole discussion at that point.
What does Rabbi suggest for the battle many teenagers face against Shemira Sinaim nowadays?
So the most important thing is avoid the temptation...
as much as you possibly can, not by fighting the temptation.
If you're fighting the temptation, you're going to lose.
So if you have an unfiltered phone and all of that stuff and you hang out on the beach, you're not going to fight that temptation.
So you want to make sure that you have the proper filters on your phone and that you have the proper context where you have
as little temptation as possible and that you'll be much more successful.
Rabbi Reisman mentioned to me that he didn't even realize that you can get internet on flip phones.
So he said in his house they only have flip phones and one of the Talmidim told him or someone that was in his house at some point told him you should know that I swiped your wife's phone at some point he was staying over for some period of time and he said I swiped your wife's phone when she put it down and I saw things I shouldn't see because I knew how to get on the internet from it.
So you should probably, you know, so just like anything, you know, so you want to make sure that you're well filtered and all that.
However, however, I think there's a hush of a point that Rabbi Reisman likes to make, which in quotes from Rav Palm, that we should not obsess about Shemir Hossein Naim.
The more we focus on it and obsess, the more it becomes a part of us and it's probably not super duper healthy.
Rabbi Reisman said he once prepared for his Mosei Shabbos Navi Shirin.
He was going to talk about Shemir Sein Ayim.
Rav Palm said to him on a Friday, what do you plan on talking about tomorrow night?
And he said, Shemir Sein Ayim.
