An announcement---at the time of the threatening and appalling news that is not stopping [to come] from the lands of Poland and Russia...that the condition of our brothers in the diaspora is terrible, and it is a time of trouble in a fearful way for "Yaakov" [the Jews]...>p>therefore we are forbidding all Jews residing in Jerusalem form any sort of music with an instrument, even at a Simcha of a Mitzvah (and certainly at a Simcha of choice, which is forbidden forever), until Hashem will look and see the troubles of His people, ....
And may we hear good news, salvation and comfort.
