Just wondering what people feel about the fact that Yeshiva World Radio is streaming music during sefira. Other sites stream the a capella songs which are problematic, but Yeshiva World is playing regular. I know you don’t have to tune in, but I feel that this should not be done by a site representing the finest segment of frum society – Yeshiva World. Please share your thoughts.

April 19, 2010 9:31 pm at 9:31 pm #683429YW Moderator-42ModeratorAs we are now between Rosh Chodesh Iyar and Lag Ba’Omer (La’Omer ?), I think that everyone agrees that it is a period of mourning.
That said, there are those who allow listening to recorded music as long as it’s not live. That is probably a minority among the Yeshiva World crowd. I think that there are 3 levels:
1) those who listen to any recorded music
2) those who listen to Accapela
3) those who don’t listen to any music
There are some in between levels of people who listen to accapela provided that it is “Dveykus” type songs that are uplifting spiritually but do not lead to dancing or kallus rosh. Perhaps some of these people will even listen to regular recorded music if it is these type of songs.

For some reason, on the 33rd day of the Omer, everyone agrees that its Lag BaOmer
April 19, 2010 10:13 pm at 10:13 pm #683431YW Moderator-80MemberThe reason is that Lag La’Omer is more difficult to say.

April 19, 2010 10:47 pm at 10:47 pm #683433YW Moderator-80MemberYou say “Lag La’Omer” every night?
I hope you don’t say it with a Brocha.

April 20, 2010 3:30 am at 3:30 am #683436FunnyBunnyMemberlol, i never thought abt that- lag ba’omer vs lag la’omer…. either way, can YWN Radio play acapella music as well during sefira?

“ba-omer’ or “la-omer”. Hence, it is equally correct to say Lag Ba-omer, even if yo usay “la-omer’ the rest of the time. Maybe the reasosn given by d-a are ‘after the fact’ but still interesting.
April 22, 2010 9:35 pm at 9:35 pm #683441d aMemberrabbiofberlin, I think what Halachicly Speaking is referring to why the world over calls this day “Lag B’Omer” and not “Lag L’Omer”. When counting Sefira Motzei Shabbos, if you usually say L’Omer, then say L’Omer. If you usually say B’Omer, then say B’Omer.
