Thanks WIY for clarifying the halacha about music during meals. We all have a lot to learn and implement.
And thanks to anonymouschochom for finding a source in agreement with my motzei tisha baav spirit. Although we have very specific letter of the law halachos, we need to remember that when it comes to things like mourning and tznios, the halachos were implemented to accomplish a certain goal, and if one’s heart is in the right place, it can’t hurt to honor those feelings.
