Playing Music for a Living During the Three Weeks

Playing Music for a Living During the Three Weeks Day: Thursday Date: July 13, 2017 Parshat: Pinhas Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 551 Sponsored by Skilled Moving and Storage. Professional and honest movers serving Los Angeles. www.SkilledMoving.com 323-746-3279 One who makes a living as a DJ or playing musical instruments may continue doing so during the three weeks for people who are allowed listen to music during that time as long as he's not doing it just because he wants to listen to music. It is not acceptable to play music in front of people who are not religious even if they want it. One who does play music in front of people who are not allowed to hear it during the three weeks has transgressed the negative commandment of "do not place a stumbling block before a blind person." One may not engage in levity or other wastes of time ever, since they empower one's evil inclination. This has nothing to with the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash. DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel. Visit us online at sephardichalacha.org
