Question
I received a recording of the Days of Awe from the Ponevezh Yeshiva. Is it permissible to listen to it?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
There is no prohibition against listening to the recording, because even if we consider the one playing the prayer as performing work, he did so inadvertently or unintentionally, and the work is permitted.
It is possible that the one praying did not transgress at all, as he prayed in his usual manner, and the work was done automatically. [Like someone who turns on a light he does not need while walking down the street].
