Using WhatsApp for Work
Question
Shalom u’vracha! I am an avrech learning in kollel full-time, my wife works in education, and we have three children. Our financial situation is difficult — we have a large mortgage and many expenses. It is truly hard for us to make ends meet... In light of my situation, recently I began working between sedarim as a safe-sales agent, and I hope this will provide us with a good monthly income... Now the workplace has asked me to use WhatsApp — otherwise it is impossible to continue working with them... At present we have a computer with internet at home. The question is: may I install WhatsApp on the computer for work purposes, or is it preferable to look for another job? I should note that I have already tried several other jobs, and I connected very much with this one. Thank you in advance.
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
This is a question that requires personal familiarity with your situation.
Approach a rabbi who knows you and your family.
Or come in to consult with our teacher, Rabbi Amram Fried shlita.
The rabbi receives people at his home every evening between 10 and 12.
