Is it the tune itself that contains the “Tumah”, or is it the singer? Music is the language of the soul right? So Ive heard it said that when a person composes/sings a song then It is as if he is imparting a peice of himself into his music. When u listen, you are absorbing the essence of his neshama into urs. I have looked, but I have not actually seen a mekor for this…
Even if you say this is true…there should be no problem with a jewish person singing a non jewish song since it is not the song itself that is the issue (obviosly assuming the lyrics arent an issue) but rather the singer himself. It makes no diff where MBD got his song from. He is the one singing it, not genghis khan.
Anyone ever heard of such an idea?
