Reply To: YWN Sefira Music

I, too, can’t see why music should be mutar during sefira just because you’re listening to it by yourself. The rule exists to limit our enjoyment during a time of aveilus. As to the different periods when sefira is held, the YWN should have at the very least picked one of them and silenced the music during that time. It also wouldn’t have hurt if there was no music the whole time. After all, we are always being told that this is the YESHIVA World News.
