Sad to see that it excludes pictures of half the human race, though…

Its links to Israeli news and shopping sites also filter out items most ultra-Orthodox Israelis are forbidden by rabbis to have in their homes, such a television sets.

Question–why are computers permitted and TVs not?

After all, the CRT and picture tube are exactly the same technology.**
