Hi,
"'Honor HaShem with your wealth (Mishlei 3:9)' - This means that one who is beautiful should not be promiscuous... Alternatively, this means that one whose voice is pleasant should lead davening [prayer]."
(Midrash, Pesikta d'Rav Kahana 10)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Praying with song
Hi,
"Rav Yehudah said, citing Shmuel: What is the essential source for music’s role in the avodah [the service in the Jerusalem Temple]?
"It is written, ‘And the priest will serve in the Name of HaShem, his Gd.’ Which type of service invokes Gd's Name? I’d say: Singing.
"Rav Matnah taught: It is written, ‘[You will be punished] because you did not serve HaShem your Gd with joy and with a good heart.’ What service is performed with joy and with a good heart? I would say: Singing."
(Talmud, Arachin 11a)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
