April 14, 2020Music During Sefirah
April 13, 2020 – Rav Schachter
In order to reduce some of the depressing atmosphere can we allow for the dispensation of the issur of music, at least the recorded kind, during sefirah. It’s not clear how problematic recorded music is altogether. Perhaps this year we can be meilkil?
Rav Schachter said that it is a minhag not to listen to music during sefirah. It is self understood that a minhag doesn’t apply under such unusual circumstances and this would be the same.
