Question
Is it permissible to listen to instrumental music at a Siyum meal during the week it occurs? And if so, is there a difference within the walls of Jerusalem? Thank you.
Answer
Hello Rabbi
Singing by voice is permitted.
Recorded songs are allowed, provided they are customarily played at Siyum celebrations.
Instrumental music is generally avoided. However, some Sephardic communities are lenient.
