The Big Lie of Kol Isha

One of the many manufactured restrictions of the rabbis is their prohibition of listening to a woman’s singing.   This has developed into a stricture, and a synopsis is given by the contemporary Rabbi Howard Jachter.

“The Gemara (Berachot 24a) states, “The voice of a woman is Ervah, as the Pasuk [in Shir Hashirim 2:14] states ‘let me hear your voice because your voice is pleasant and appearance attractive.’” Rashi explains that the Pasuk in Shir Hashirim indicates that a woman’s voice is attractive to a man, and is thus prohibited to him. Rav Hai Gaon (cited in the Mordechai, Berachot 80) writes that this restriction applies to a man who is reading Kriat Shema, because a woman’s singing will distract him. The Rosh (Berachot 3:37) disagrees and writes that the Gemara refers to all situations and is not limited to Kriat Shema. The Shulchan Aruch rules that the Kol Isha restriction applies to both Kriat Shema (Orach Chaim 75:3) and other contexts (Even Haezer 21:2). The Rama (O.C. 75:3) and Bait Shmuel (21:4) clarify that this prohibition applies only to a woman’s singing voice and not to her speaking voice.”

However, these are simply man-made rules and nothing to do with the Torah of Israel. We see this from Nehemiah the Tirshata, who was the religious leader at the time of Ezra.  The book of Nehemiah tells us that there were men and women singers who were connected to the temple and to holy and national service:

Nehemiah 7:

סו כָּל-הַקָּהָל, כְּאֶחָד--אַרְבַּע רִבּוֹא, אַלְפַּיִם שְׁלֹשׁ-מֵאוֹת וְשִׁשִּׁים. 

66 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,
סז מִלְּבַד עַבְדֵיהֶם וְאַמְהֹתֵיהֶם, אֵלֶּה--שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים, שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת שְׁלֹשִׁים וְשִׁבְעָה; וְלָהֶם, מְשֹׁרְרִים וּמְשֹׁרְרוֹת--מָאתַיִם, וְאַרְבָּעִים וַחֲמִשָּׁה. 

67 beside their men-servants and their maid-servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven; and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women.

72 So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinim, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities. And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities

Thus it was permitted and practiced in Biblical times to have women singers.  The fact that this took place in connection with Temple services only further proves the alien nature of rabbinic laws.  It is time now to reject the rabbis and the destruction that they have wrought on Israel and its Biblical religion.

To see this as a relatively harmless matter would be a big mistake. Recently, a Zionist Rabbi,  who runs a Hesder Yeshiva (where rabbinical students also serve in the IDF)  made the vile and sick statement that his students would sooner die (ie commit suicide) than to attend official functions where women soldiers sing! This is the degree of insanity and jihadism that Rabbinism has produced.

Incidentally, there are further instances of women singing in public:

2 Chron 35:
25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations, unto this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel; and, behold, they are written in the lamentations. 

This was under the auspices of Jeremiah!
