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!
