the gadol hador in general opposes concerts so why are they still happening? If people need an “outlet” they can read a story about an adam godol, plus there is no heter to have concerts or music in general once the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed, 1 know of a family that doesnt allow their children to play or listen to any music for this reason.
I am so happy this happened. Maybe finally people will wake up and realize that this kind of ‘music’ and other things like it that have become so ‘normal’ are just the kind of things that made Yavan for what it was. but fear not! Just as Yavan fell so too will this horrible singers and entertainers that inject so much puke in to our society fall and disappear!
I thought we can’t have music in Jerusalem because of the mourning of the Beis Hamikdash.
Restrictions against music at weddings even existed outside Eretz Yisroel. In the 19th century, the Maharam Shik of Chust in the Ukraine ordered all those who listened to him (which did not include everyone in his community as the Haskalah was on the rise) to not take musicians at weddings. He feared that the levity induced by music might lead to mixed dancing (Likutei Mahari’ch).
Bob:
Had he known, and I believe him that he did not know, he should – and likely would – instruct the band to immediately stop playing.
Reb Eliezer:
Yes, it is forbidden, and not just in Jerusalem but everywhere else. There is little-to-no heter for live music for concerts. Halachipedia has a whole article on this.
(As it happens, though, the wicked Zionists’ definition of Jerusalem is not the halachic definition of Yerushalayim; Halachipedia brings a machlokes whether that gezeira against music in Yerushalayim included areas outside the Old City.
Either way, if that area wasn’t part of the gezeira then perhaps it’s not included in the gezeira even if the Zionists call it now part of Jerusalem.
Finally, that gezeira was for weddings; I don’t know that it would apply to concerts, too, because a wedding is a great simcha, unlike a concert.)
crazy!these are yiddishe neshumes and they are being ruined!RUINED!!!!!!
Can you imagine if it c’v led to c’v a nice frum boy meeting a nice frum girl and c’v date and marry without a shadchan?
“If people need an “outlet” they can read a story about an adam godol…”
Lakewoodbt: you are so, so right. Recently, I was suffering severe political trauma and went back and read several stories by Carl Bernstein and Robert Costa about the Trumpkopf (6ft 4inches and 265 lb..definitely an adom gadol in the most literal meaning). Almost immediately, I felt a sense of great Zen. We are fortunate to have so many great “outlets” about such a chashuvah adom gadol.
Seriously, though, are they adding some new chemicals to the water in Lakewood or did you obtain a prescription for medical marijuana. I can just see you giving musar to some stressed out BMG bochurim telling them to skip the concert and chill out and go read some bedtime stories about former NJ Chris Christie (an even bigger gadol than the Trumpkopf)
CRAZY!!!these are yiddishe neshumelech and they are being ruined!RUINED!!!and then some of you say so what!!!!????ill tell you what!you have no idea how many pure neshumes have been stained!listen to the words of the rabbonim!!!!!
OMG! This will lead to boys talking to girls without their mother’s permission and will solve the shiddach crises.
ha what will you say next that abortion is permitted?? once you have a breach in matters of keduasha then the next thing will have to be to abort the baby instead of having a mamzer
Abortion is permitted in certain instanced. You will need to ask a Posek, and not a Rosh Yeshiva on these halachic questions.
excuse me but our religion doesnt permit abortion, maybe you can regisrter yourself to the nearest reform temple you will find more people that change judiasm over there. theres no mitsvah to kill anyone, on the contrary you would be considered a rotseach.
Oy meh hayah lanu. Rav Yakov Herman fought this battle over 100 years ago and now we have devolved back into mixed dancing and other goyish behaviors. Clearly the Holocaust was not enough of a lesson for us.
Di bist Meshigah! Did you have your coffee today yet?
Let’s not get carried away. Rav Miller wrote that Judaism was essentially disintegrating in Europe before the Holocaust.
B”H, Klal Yisrael is getting stronger and stronger ever since, though the WZO voting heresy was a major blow.
BG?
Thinking that the Holocaust was caused by mixed dancing is one of the most off things that I’ve ever heard. Who even says that?
we must cancel Mordechai Shapiro.
