The adults are not allowed to listen to music during the first year of mourning. (I don't know if I could live with that practice, so I'm praying that no one close to me dies during my lifetime. But I think there is a loophole for people who make a living with music -- something about you can play it but you can't listen... I'll have to ask my rabbi sometime.)</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>

*the adults can't listen to music for the first year of mourning? that is really bizarre. there is great healing power in music and to be denied that is cruel and insane. Truly, religious insanity is responsible for most of the trouble in this world. <BR>

good luck, El.<BR>
