What I never got is how we can say that recorded music is a kli shiur, and therefore assur during sefira, but still say that it constitutes kol isha… What is it, a kli or a person?
Sam2:
What would the Halachic argument be for saying hallel (with a bracha; without a bracha its just Tehillim)? And as MDG pointed out, if we were to celebrate anything, it should be the end of the war, not the beginning…
Also, even if there would be a convincing Halachic justification, then how can anyone use that reasoning for days other then 5 Iyar itself?
