[Avodah] The Main Idea of Judaism

[Ben Waxman]

The idea of a neutral act is more "adin" than the below. If a person 
takes 15 minutes to read Ynet because he needs some down time before 
returning to mitzvah activities and this 15 minutes allows him to keep 
going, great. If he is reading Ynet because he is simply bored or gets a 
cheap thrill from talkbacks, than that is more problematic.
