 Kosher Phone Service Bezeq Israel Telecom, Israel’s largest phone company, launched a Kosher phone service. The service will block calls from adult chat networks and other naughty or “improper” numbers. The service has been offered free and has been approved by Israel’s leading rabbis. The service is targeted at the ultra-orthodox but will be open to anyone.  "Obviously our main customer is the ultra-Orthodox but a lot of parents don't want their children to be exposed to these kinds of numbers," said Itamar Harel, vice president of Bezeq's residential customers division.
Israel's mobile phone operators already offer similar services.
Bezeq said 90 percent of Israel's ultra-Orthodox, which is a poor sector but growing rapidly and retains heavy clout in the government, use Bezeq's services.
