A camera fit to shoot a rabbi

articlemain

We've had kosher mobiles (no internet connection) and a kosher dictionary (no entry on "homosexual"). Now comes the KDC - the Kosher Digital Camera, newly on sale in Stamford Hill.

What makes a camera kosher? A lens that shuts if you try to take a picture of a woman?

The camera gets its kosher label because it is unable to take video.

Videos are thought to be the thin end of the wedge which could tempt people into watching movies on computer.

Charedi youngsters with untreated phones in Israel have been caught peeking at videos - though nothing as risqué as sneak footage of ladies behind the mechitzah at simchahs. Just film of top rabbis and their entourages.
