Forget Google. Forget Jewgle. Try Koogle.

>> Monday, June 15, 2009



We've covered kosher food, kosher drinks, and even kosher phone cards. Now we bring you the kosher search engine.

Wait, didn't we already post about Jewgle? Yep. But there's another one! And this time, they're super serious about it.

Koogle, named after the delicious kosher noodle treat, allows Orthodox Jews to surf the web, while avoiding sexually explicit material that devout Jews are barred from viewing.

Yossi Altman, Koogle's site manager, says "Nothing can be posted on the Jewish Sabbath, when religious law bans all types of work and business. If you try to buy something on the Sabbath, it gets stuck and won't let you."

Koogle's 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.

"The site omits religiously objectionable material, such as most photographs of women which Orthodox rabbis view as immodest," Altman said.

Most photographs of women? Oy Vey.
