THE MISSING LINK | Surfin' on a mouse and a prayer

Orthodox Jews who visited adult Web sites didn't have a prayer --
until now. A rabbi in Israel has come up with a prayer to help those
Semitic surfers who can't resist the seedy (and steamy) side of
cyberspace: "Please, God, help me cleanse the computer of viruses and
evil photographs which disturb and ruin my work ... so that I shall
be able to cleanse myself [of sin]." The rabbi who came up with the
prayer said that Jews should say it when they log on, or maybe use it
as a screensaver. Oh, and it works for someone who stumbles into an
adult site by mistake, too. Now if he could only fashion a prayer for
those who bravely face a daily deluge of spam! (Reuters)
