Sefirat Ha'omer: Music
Question
Am I able to listen to music on sefirah if it’s only for studying purposes? Many thanks.
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
It is generally forbidden to listen to music during the Sefira period. However, it is permitted when it is done as "background music" if needed to help you concentrate..
