[HANASHIR:8242] Re: Some more Kol Isha clarification

[Judah Cohen <jcohen...>]

Depending upon whom you talk to in the Ortho community, recordings can be
fine.  The reason I've heard:  electronic reproduction of the voice is
different enough from the original so as not to *be* the original.  People
have told me stories, for example, of men putting their ears up to the amps
at concerts where women sang, so they would be within the boundaries of
these laws.  I look forward to hearing other explanations.
