Lengthy letter, part of it handwritten by the Tzaddik Gaon Rabbi Michl Yehuda Lefkovitz on matters of kedusha and keeping religion unruined with Kosher mobile phones. 2008.
In the letter, he pleads with the Cellcom company not to market mobile phones containing inappropriate materials.
The time was the early days of the internet and the third generation of mobile phones. He states that lately, with the appointment of a new minister of communications, the situation became alarmingly worse.
In the lines the Gaon Rabbi Michl Yehuda Lefkovitz added himself, he writes ‘The existence of entire Yisroel should be like that of the Kadosh Kdoshim Tihyu ki Kadosh Ani etc. Therefore each and every person has the duty as much as possible to prevent the other from having this weapon of mass destruction which destroys the soul so much so that in the future people will be similar to animal G-d forbid, spare yourselves so as not to descend to the depth of Hell G-d forbid’.
The Gaon Rabbi Michl Yehuda Lefkovitz [1914-2011] was Rosh Yeshiva of Ponovezh for juniors, member of Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Degel HaTorah and one of the leaders of the Lithuanian community.

With time he also became close to the Gaon the "Chazon Ish".
