Someone said that Jewish Music is supposed to move your soul, not your body.
So what do we say about Dovid Hamelech, who moved his body in joy in front of the Shechina. His wife gave him mussar, and for that she died in childbirth.
In Likutei Moharan, Torah Resh Peh Beis, he points out that we should be looking for nekudos tovos, good points, even in resha’im, for thru that you give them zechus, and help them do teshuva, and it helps you! Even finding the good points in ourselves is essential, and will ultimately bring the geulah Sheleimah bekarov!
So yes, the music may be jarring to some, and it may feel uncomfortable, but lets try to see that they are listening to Jewish lyrics (the goyish lyrics are often terrible, not like it used to be in the 60s and 70s), and proud enough to say that Jewish Music is GOOD.
Azamra l’elokai be’odi!!!
