Koogle

Koogle
A kosher search engine designed for Orthodox Jews. (Kugel + Google.)

“Religiously devout Jews barred by rabbis from surfing the Internet may now ‘Koogle’ it on a new ‘kosher’ search engine,” Reuters reported recently:

Yossi Altman [the site's developer] said Koogle, a play on the names of a Jewish noodle pudding and the ubiquitous Google, appears to meet the standards of Orthodox rabbis, who restrict use of the Web to ensure followers avoid viewing sexually explicit material. …
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.
According to Reuters, Koogle, which was developed with the encouragement of rabbis, won’t allow users to make purchases, or post items, on the sabbath.
(The Telegraph noted that Koogle was also the name of a brand of peanut butteron sale in the 1970s.)
