We begin with the rules governing listening to music in general.
Then we will apply those rules specifically to non-Jewish music. This will cover both non-Jewish religious music (e.g., a requiem by Mozart or a song by Bob Marley) and non-Jewish secular music (e.g., a symphony by Mozart or a song by the Grateful Dead).
Hebrew sources, surveying the opinions of the leading rabbis, are available through the links in both WORD format and pdf. In class we will translate and explain these sources.
