A vocal choir during Sefirat HaOmer – at a siyum masechet
Question
Is it permitted to hold a siyum masechet during the days of Sefirat HaOmer accompanied by a choir singing vocally (without musical instruments)?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha,
One may be lenient in this.
Since it is not clear that vocal music is included in the prohibition of listening to music.
In addition, there are those who are lenient even with actual (instrumental) music at a siyum masechet.
