   with ethical, technical, practical, and philosophical issues. You can

   There is an institute in Israel devoted to using modern technology
   within Halachic constraints. One example of their products is a
   Sabbath telephone that doctors can use in an emergency without fear of
   violating the laws of the Torah.
