I think instead of only discussing teenager addiction to texting on Shabbat, we must do a little self-reflection (“For Many Orthodox Teens, ‘Half Shabbos’ Is A Way Of Life,” June 24).
The addictive nature of texting affects adults as much as teenagers. We text while driving, and we text while davening. We have to lead as role models to our youth, if we want them to learn properly.
