[Avodah] Is it permissible to listen to an acapella music CD during sefira?

[Prof. L. Levine]

>From today's OU Kosher Halacha Yomis


Q. Is it permissible to listen to an acapella music CD during sefira?

A. Rav Belsky, zt’l was of the opinion that there is no difference between a professionally recorded acapella CD that sounds like music and a regular CD with musical instruments. Both provide enjoyment of listening to music and acapella CDs would fall under the same category of restricted music during Sefiras HaOmer. This applies even if the music is slow tempo. (Shulchan HaLevi pp. 134-135)
