Music During Sefirat Ha'omer
Question
Can I play music as a one man band during the Omer?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
It is forbidden to play live music during the mourning period of the Omer.
It is permitted, however, to play music if it one’s source of income. For example, one may take a job making music for non-Jews.
