Yesh Omrim with Rabbi Shmuli Rosenberg

Music To Your Ears - Exploring The Halachic Issues of Acapella Music During Sefirah It’s Sefirah again and many of us have pulled up our A Capella playlists. But, is A Capella during sefirah really ok? We’ve heard that there may be an issue, but doesn’t everybody listen to it? In this new episode of Yesh Omrim, Rabbi Shmuli Rosenberg explores the issue of A Capella music in depth, drawing from his vast expertise in both the halachic aspects as well as the technical aspects of music and audio engineering. Rabbi Rosenberg also shares his discussions with Moreinu HaRav Dovid Feinstein Ztk”l on the topic. Also featured are exclusive before and after sample recordings by R’ Chaim Meir Fligman, conductor of The Shir V’Shevach Boys Choir. This shiur will be music to your ears, or maybe be not… you’ll have to listen to find out.  Download the source sheets here: מראה מקומות
