Reply To: 'jewish' songs with non jewish tunes

In eleventh grade my teacher gave us this lesson about music that i will never forget. girls wanted to know what was wrong with listening to non jewish music and she told us like this. when a person makes up a song its a reflection of there neshama. this refers to the music itself and the lyrics. and when you listen to music a part of the composers neshama goes into yours. if its a ehrlich composer your good to go but on the most part, non jewish music is made up by the dregs of society. do you want part of their neshama in yours? so about the non jewish tunes with jewish words, personally, the song still has that goyishe “taam” and i dont consider it jewish.
