OP sharaga18 – ” let me preface by saying that I’m speaking to those that are here because the site is called YESHIVA world news…”
Imagine if an OP asks on YWN: “Is rabbit meat more kosher or less kosher than bacon?”….wouldn’t that be inappropriate!
The moshel and nimshal fits this thread.
Those that are here surely follow Reb Moshe’s psak: Teshuvot Igrot Moshe 1:160.
Although he writes that it is not required to follow the most stringent opinion of the Bach and the Magen Avraham, he regards the strict opinion of Rav Yosef Karo, which will follow below, to be normative.
The Rema mentioned earlier follows Rashi and Tosfos:
Second, they state that music that is played in the context of a mitzvah, such as at a wedding celebration, is entirely permissible. The Rambam (Hilchot Taaniot 5:14) similarly writes that it is permissible to play music of a religious nature. The origin of this exception dates back at least to the Geonic era, as Rav Hai Gaon espouses this approach. This exception is codified in the Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 560:3) virtually uncontested.
As stated, Reb Moshe paskens according to the strict opinion of Rav Yosef Karo.
In any event, the OP is “speaking to those that are here because the site is called YESHIVA world news” who certainly adhere to Reb Moshe’s psak.
We do NOT listen to ANY modern so-called “Jewish” music (except at a simcha). Certainly not music VIDEOS. They ALL do not conform with halacha.
To question if some are more kosher or less kosher than others is like asking on the YWN if rabbit meat is more kosher than bacon!
THAT IS INAPPROPRIATE!
