Question
Hello, honorable Rabbi, I am an 18-year-old who listens to foreign songs and women's singing. I received a job to write tags for scrolls. May I listen to foreign songs and women's singing while writing the tags? Is there a difference between the two? What is the ruling initially and in retrospect?
Answer
Hello and happy holiday
It is forbidden to listen to love songs and women's singing, both while writing tags and at any other time.
Songs of non-Jews that do not have a forbidden meaning are not prohibited by law. However, it is known that music affects the soul, and who wants the influence of the nations of the world on their Jewish soul?
