About Shemirat Einayim

Who We Are

We are a group of concerned parents who understand the challenges of raising children in today's digital age. Like you, we've struggled with finding the right balance between giving our children access to the incredible educational and practical benefits of the internet while protecting them from its very real dangers.

Through our own experiences—both successes and setbacks—we've learned valuable lessons about internet filtering, parental controls, and creating healthy digital boundaries within Orthodox Jewish homes. We created this resource to share what we've learned with other parents facing similar challenges.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to empower parents with practical, actionable information about internet safety and filtering solutions. We believe that when parents are equipped with the right knowledge and tools, they can make informed decisions that best serve their family's unique needs and values.

We're not affiliated with any particular filtering service or product. Our goal is to provide objective information, honest reviews, and real-world guidance based on our collective experiences as parents navigating these same waters.

Why We Do This

The internet has become an unavoidable part of modern life. Whether for school assignments, staying connected with family, or accessing essential services, complete digital isolation is often neither practical nor beneficial. Yet the risks—from inappropriate content to privacy concerns to the impacts on mental health—are significant and well-documented.

We've seen too many families struggle in silence, not knowing where to turn for guidance. We've witnessed the confusion that comes from conflicting advice, technical jargon, and the overwhelming number of filtering options available. And we've experienced firsthand the peace of mind that comes from having a well-implemented filtering strategy.

This website exists because we wish we had a resource like this when we first started our own journey toward digital safety. We hope that by sharing our knowledge openly, we can help other parents feel less alone and more confident in their ability to protect their children online.

Our Approach

We recognize that every family is different. What works for one household may not work for another. That's why we focus on providing comprehensive information rather than prescriptive solutions. We present various options, explain the pros and cons of different approaches, and offer guidance to help you make the best choices for your specific situation.

We're also committed to keeping our information up-to-date. Technology changes rapidly, and filtering solutions evolve constantly. We regularly review and update our guides to ensure they reflect current best practices and available options.

Join Our Community

We're always learning from other parents, educators, and community members. If you have experiences to share, questions to ask, or suggestions for improving our resources, we'd love to hear from you. Together, we can build a stronger, more informed community dedicated to keeping our children safe in the digital world.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our site. We hope you find the information here helpful as you work to create a safer digital environment for your family.
