According to those Poskim who hold you can listen to music during the year, it is forbidden to fall asleep and wake up to music (R’ Moshe Feinstein maybe?). My question is: may one do so with Acapella music?

May 24, 2016 3:20 pm at 3:20 pm #1152919Sam2ParticipantSoT: It’s a Rama, not R’ Moshe. According to that, a capella should be Muttar because we define it as “not music”. (That is leaving aside those Poskim who hold that a capella that is made to sound professional does count as music. According to them, it would be Assur.)

Not necessarily, at least the falling asleep part.
There are Poskim who permit even recorded actual instrumental music for certain physical and psychological needs. for example: exercise for health, or depression. I would imagine if someone was used to falling asleep to music and found it difficult to do so without it, those Poskim would permit. I would think.

The RAMA was R’ MOSHE Isserles
May 24, 2016 9:19 pm at 9:19 pm #1152922Sam2Participantfeivel: If that’s not exactly what the Rama was Assering, I don’t know what is. Either way, that’s not a Heter based on the Shaila, that’s a side-Heter that might trump any music Issur in the first place.
May 24, 2016 9:41 pm at 9:41 pm #1152923feivelParticipantI don’t understand your heter side-heter point here.
The poster asked a shaila: is it permitted to fall asleep to acapella music.
You said according to X it would be assur.
I said not necessarily. Many poskim who hold like X would not assur it in this case.
Two answers to his question
Sam assur
Feivel not necessarily
May 25, 2016 3:08 am at 3:08 am #1152924Sam2Participantfeivel: His question pre-supposed that listening to music while going to sleep was Assur. If that’s the assumption, then he’s clearly not utilizing a psychological necessity Heter. Otherwise, the point of discussion would not be a capella.
May 25, 2016 3:16 am at 3:16 am #1152925feivelParticipantAha.
I see your point.
