Nowhere in Hilchos Sefirah or the halachos of The Three Weeks does it mention that there is a minhag not to listen to music. All that is mentioned by the earlier poskim is that there is a minhag to abstain from rikkudim u’mecholos, dancing." Unfortunately, although the article goes on to state that it is now "our Minhag", it does not elaborate very much (it does a bit, I admit) as to why, or when this became the case, or corroborate it with sources. | |
