Question
Is there a reason to mourn for the kidnapped (or is there an obligation) and therefore not listen to music?
Answer
Hello,
Certainly, anyone with a Jewish heart mourns the situation of the kidnapped.
However, we have not found a decree against listening to music when Jews are in distress.
If you personally feel that it is inappropriate in such a situation, then you are praiseworthy.
