Try this. Pick up any phone and dial 1-866-KEDUSHA (533-8742). A voice answers. It is not a person, and it is not a menu. It is an AI, built by Guard Your Eyes, and it will talk with you about any kedusha question you have.
Ask it something real. “My daughter wants to upgrade her phone for her bas mitzvah.” “Which filter works on a work laptop without blocking the sites I need for parnassa?” “When should I speak to my boys about kedusha?” It asks about your family and your community’s standards and gives you an answer drawn from nearly 200 vetted resources. Free, anonymous, any hour. No internet needed.
The hotline is one of three parts of Project Kedusha, launched this Elul by Guard Your Eyes, and featured in Mishpacha Magazine last week.
Why you need this
Almost every frum home today has questions about keeping its devices protected, and most of us have no idea where to get a straight answer.
How do I protect my smartphone properly, without breaking the apps I need?
Which kosher phone makes the most sense for me, and which one for my teenager?
What is the best first phone for a child, and at what age?
Is there a kosher AI service my kids can use for school, or that I can use for business?
What filter works on a work laptop, and who will help me set it up?
How do I lock down the smart TV, the Xbox, the car screen?
When and how should I speak to my boys about kedusha?
Until now, getting a clear answer to any of these meant asking around, calling three organizations, and doing your own research. The information existed. It was scattered across dozens of providers; it changed every few months, and nobody had put it in one place.
Now you get the answer instantly by calling the hotline or asking at Kedusha.com. And it is current. GYE has partnered with Mishor in Lakewood, under Rabbi Leizerson, to keep every recommendation up to date as new kosher phones, filters, and AI tools come out, with the insider’s view of what actually works.
Three ways in
So we built it. Project Kedusha brings close to 200 vetted resources from dozens of organizations under one roof.
1-866-KEDUSHA, the hotline you just dialed. The full library by voice, for anyone, and especially for those without internet.
Kedusha.com, the same library online, kept up to date, with an AI chat trained on our own database. Type a question and get instant, personalized guidance.
The Kedusha Guide, in print. Close to 100 full-color pages in six sections: Education by age, Chizuk, Struggles, Kedusha Safeguards, Screen Addiction, and the Kosher Aisle of safe entertainment for children. The Safeguards section alone compares every filter in America and Israel side by side, every popular kosher phone by region and community standard, and the devices people forget: the Xbox, the smart TV, the Tesla.
Wherever you see the GYE badge, it is ours. Everything else is the work of others, and that is the point. This is all of Klal Yisroel’s solutions in one place.
Rav Yosef Elefant of the Mir called it “a game changer.” Harav Simcha Bunim Cohen of Lakewood: “Now that AI has come up, which is another tool of the Yetzer Hara, Project Kedusha is teaching us how to use it.” Harav Uri Deutsch, Mara D’asra of Forest Park: “I was very moved and extremely impressed by this new effort, both the printed and the electronic resources, to be mechazek what we know is the nisayon of Klal Yisroel in our time.”
A public service of Guard Your Eyes
Project Kedusha is not a new organization. It is a public service of Guard Your Eyes, which, as you may know, has spent nineteen years helping Yidden who struggle with internet addiction and shmiras einayim. Tens of thousands have come through GYE’s forum, mentors, and programs, most of them quietly.
This is the first thing GYE has built for everyone. Not for people in crisis, but for every home with a device. In Rav Elefant’s words, instead of helping only those who struggle, GYE can now upgrade the kedusha of all of Klal Yisroel.
Not everyone is happy about it
GYE has been getting some bad reviews this year. One in particular.
The reviewer has been fighting GYE for 19 years and has been losing ground the whole time. His complaint: every time he evolves, GYE evolves with him. This year he asked for thirty seconds to tell his side, and he ends by asking you, personally, not to help.
Get the Zechus of Thousands of Yidden Helped
All of this, Project Kedusha included, is paid for by one campaign a year, during Aseres Yemei Teshuva. It ends at Yom Kippur.
Helping one member costs GYE $180 a year, less than 50 cents a day. Every donation receives a free printed copy of the Kedusha Guide for your home.
Rav Elya Brudny, Rosh Yeshiva of Mir Brooklyn, said about this cause: “I can’t think of a bigger zchus harabim that a person can buy for themselves.”
