The following is one selection from this publication.<br><br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Pesukim
</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>as Lyrics<br><br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>The
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Gemorah
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>in
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Sanhedrin</i></font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=1>113
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>says one is not allowed to
use words of </font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Shir
Hashirim<br>
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>for a song.
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Rashi
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>explains that this
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>issur
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>applies to all
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>pesukim</i></font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>.</font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=1>114
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>The reason is because<br>
using the words of the
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Torah
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>for his own enjoyment is
a lack of proper
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>kedusha</i></font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>.</font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=1>115
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>One<br>
who wishes to praise
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Hashem
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>may sing the lyrics of
the
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Torah</i></font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>.</font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=1>116
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>A
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>posuk
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>that is a<br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>nusach
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>of
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>davening
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>may be sung by adding a
tune to it. However, singing a certain
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>posuk<br>
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>because you like the
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>niggun
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>is
forbidden.</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=1>117<br><br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>The
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Magen
Avraham</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=1>118
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>says when singing songs on
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Shabbos
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>one should only sing<br>
songs which were composed especially for
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>seudas Shabbos
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>(and not other words
of<br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>chazal</i></font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>).</font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=1>119
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>However, many
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>poskim
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>say the
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Magen Avraham
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>only forbids other songs
if<br>
they will be sung in a frivolous manner, and if they are used to praise
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Hashem
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>then<br>
singing them is
permitted.</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=1>120<br><br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>One may sing a song
containing the name of
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Hashem
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>if instead of saying the
real<br>
name he says
“</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Hashem</i></font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>.”</font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=1>121<br><br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>Some
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>poskim
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>maintain that the
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>issur
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>of singing a
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>posuk
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>applies to
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Torah Sh’bal Pe
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>as<br>
well.</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=1>122
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>Nonetheless, one who is
learning is allowed to hum a tune to the words of the<br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Gemorah</i></font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>.<br><br>
