Music on Shabbat
When the Beit Hamikdash was standing, instruments were played on Shabbat and holidays. Join Rabbi Dovid Fink as he discusses the topic of playing instruments on Shabbat and Chagim since the destruction. According to the sources in the Gemara down through today’s leading poskim, what is permitted and what is not?
Music on Shabbat: Lesson
We begin with the principle Talmudic sources that prohibit playing musical instruments on Shabbat and Yom Tov.
Then we will study the principle opinions of the medieval authorities (Rishonim).
On this basis, we will proceed next week to an understanding of how modern poskim apply the prohibition.
Hebrew sources are available through the links in both WORD format and pdf. In class we will translate and explain these sources.
In addition to being one of Rabbi Brovender's first students, Rabbi Dovid Fink is an outstanding expertﾠand teacher of Halacha. Rabbi Fink received his Rabbinic ordination from ITRI and the Mir and was awarded his Ph.D in Semitic Languages and Linguistics from Yale University. Rav Fink has taught thousands of students from all over the world for over 35 years.
