Today’s daf is sponsored in honor of a big yom huledet sameach to Safta Abby Flamholz on her half-century birthday! From Sigal, Zach & Nitzan. Beit Hillel’s language in the Mishna is difficult as he says “The one whose words do not come to be is a nazir.” Shouldn’t it be the opposite? Rav Yehuda suggests changing the language to read “The one whose words come true.” Abaye leaves the original language and suggests that Beit Hillel is referring to a case where one switched one’s original stat...

Today's daf is dedicated in memory of Faye Darack, one of Hadran's dedicated learners who passed away yesterday. Yehi zichra baruch. Beit Shamai holds that if one sanctified something by mistake, it is effective. Beit Hillel disagree. An example is brought in the Mishna of one who said that the first black ox to leave my house will be sanctified and a white ox left the house first. Or the first gold coin to come in my hand, or the first wine barrel and silver came first or a barrel of oil....

Today’s daf is sponsored by Terri Krivosha for the refuah shleima of her husband Harav Hayim Yehuda Ben Faiga Rivah and their daughter, Tamar Davida bat Sarah Leah. If a woman becomes a nazir and her husband nullifies the vow without her knowledge and she drinks wine not knowing that she is no longer a nazir, she does not get lashes by Torah law. However, Rabbi Yehuda adds that she gets lashes by rabbinic law as she intended to go against the law. A braita brings a verse from which this la...

Two more sources  (altogether five. including the sources on Nazir 21) are brought to answer the question - when a husband nullifies his wife's vow - is it uprooted from when she took ...

Nazir 21 - February 13, 22 Shevat

February 13, 2023 06:07 - 47 minutes - 33 MB

Study Guide Nazir 21 Reish Lakish held that if one says "I will be a nazir" and another said "and me" and another said "and me", it is effective only if it was said immediately after (toch k'dei dibur). Support for this is brought from a braita. They also try to prove it from the fact that our Mishna listed only two people who responded "and me" and not more. But that answer is rejected as the tanna is not expected to count cases exactly as a peddlers count their wares. If so, why did the...

Nazir 20 - February 12, 21 Shevat

February 12, 2023 06:03 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MB

Study Guide Nazir 20 There were different traditions about whether Helene the Queen was a nazir for fourteen years or twenty-one. According to Rabbi Yehuda's version that it was fourteen, was it that she kept seven outside of Israel and then seven more when she got to Israel (and did not become impure to a dead person) as per Beit Hillel's opinion or was it based on Beit Shamai that she added another thirty days when she got to Israel but became impure and then ended to start all over aga...

Nazir 19 - Shabbat February 11, 20 Shevat

February 10, 2023 06:36 - 27 minutes - 18.9 MB

Study Guide Nazir 19 Today’s daf is dedicated l'ilui nishmat Chana bat Reb Shimon by her sons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all who knew and loved her. A braita states that a woman who became a nazir, became impure to a dead person and then her husband nullified her vow, after she had separated birds for her sacrifice, she brings the sin offering but not the burnt offering. Rav Chisda connects this source to Rabbi Yishmael's opinion. A further question is asked on the braita:...

February 10, 2023 06:16 - 46 minutes - 32.4 MB

Study Guide Nazir 18 In the fourth attempt to answer Rabbi Ashi's question, we find a source explicitly stating that one who vowed to be a nazir while impure does not shave one's hair on the seventh day of purification. Rav Chisda attributes a braita we saw on a previous page a Mishna in Keritut 20b - one to Rebbi and one to Rabbi Yosi son of Rabbi Yehuda - regarding their debate about when a nazir who becomes impure begins their count of nezirut again - on the seventh day of purification...

Study Guide Nazir 17 Today's daf is dedicated for a refuah shleima for Benaya Chaim ben Avital Ora who is undergoing surgery this morning. After raising several sources against Reish Lakish's opinion, and particularly one that couldn't be resolved, Mar son of Rav Ashi reinterprets the debate between him and Rabbi Yochanan. They both hold that a person who takes upon being a nazir in a cemetery is considered a nazir immediately but there is a debate whether or not they receive lashes if ...

Nazir 16 - February 8, 17 Shevat

February 08, 2023 06:08 - 45 minutes - 31.5 MB

Study Guide Nazir 16 Today’s daf is sponsored by Joyce Bendavid in honor of Rabbanit Michelle. “Thank you to Rabbanit Michelle Farber for the clarity of your teaching as you motivate us to continue learning the daily daf.” If Rabbi Yossi holds that part of the day is considered a whole day regarding the impurity of a zava, how could one ever become a zava gedola? The Gemara brings two possible answers. The third chapter begins with a description of few different cases of one who took up...

Rava's question is explained as referring both to a case where one said they will be a nazir in twenty days and a nazir now and also if the second nazirite term was one hundred days instead of the usual thirty.

Today’s daf is sponsored by Susan Gruber Vishner, in loving memory of her father, Everett Gruber, Yehudah Gedalia ben Sender Chaim v'Perl, on the 100th anniversary of his birth. “My father deeply loved Jewish learning, Torah study, and his family.” Rabbi Yochanan explains that if one appointed a messenger to betroth a woman for him, without specifying which woman, and the messenger died before returning, one can assume he betrothed the woman before his death and the man who sent him can no...

Study Guide Nazir 10 Today’s daf is sponsored by Tina Lamm in memory of her grandfather, Gershon Katz, Gershon ben Yochanan HaCohen v’Chaya Toba, whose yahrzeit is today. If someone said, "My cow/door said I am a nazir if I stand up/open," Beit Shamai and Beit Hillel disagree about whether the person becomes a nazir by this declaration. Rabbi Yehuda says, as in the previous Mishna, Beit Shamai meant this only if they explained it as referring to being a sacrifice and it then will be for...

Nazir 9 - February 1, 10 Shevat

February 01, 2023 06:26

Study Guide Nazir 9 One who vowed to be a nazir not to eat figs, is that person considered a nazir? Are they forbidden from eating figs? Or is it just an absurd statement that means nothing? Beit Hillel and Beit Shamai disagree about this case. There are three different explanations about what Beit Hillel and Beit Shamai actually hold. According to one of the interpretations, Beit Hillel's opinion is based upon an opinion of Rabbi Shimon in a Minha in Menachot 103a. That Mishna is brought...

Nazir 8 - January 31, 9 Shevat

January 31, 2023 06:07 - 45 minutes - 31.8 MB

Study Guide Nazir 8 Today’s daf is sponsored by Dalia Gamson in memory of Efraim ben Yitzchak Shmuel. The Mishna lists several cases where one accepted to be a nazir for a time period based on an object, like the hair on my head, dush of the earth...). They are considered a nazir forever, but tana kama and Rebbi disagree about whether one meant an infinite number of separate terms of being a nazir (with haircuts and sacrifices at the end of each thirty-day term) or one long period of be...

Nazir 5 - Shabbat January 28, 6 Shevat

January 27, 2023 06:24 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MB

We derive from Avshalom who was a nazir olam that if one's hair gets too long, one can trim it. But at what intervals did Avshalom cut his hair? Three opinions are brought and the GEmara both raises questions and explains these three approaches. If one accepts to be a nazir without specifying how much time, the Mishna rules that the timeframe is thirty days. Rav Matna learns this from gematria of the words "yihiye." Bar Pada derives that is it twenty-nine from the twenty-nine times in the ch...

January 20, 2023 06:08 - 25 minutes - 17.9 MB

The contradiction between Rabbi Meir in the Mishna and Rabbi Meir regarding a city of refuge is resolved by distinguishing between the cases and showing that the debate between Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Meir was derived specifically from the words in the verses of the Torah on that topic. If one vows to not let his son-in-law benefit from him, in what way can he give a gift to his daughter so that the son-in-law won't benefit? The Mishna proscribes what to do according to Rabbi Meir's approach ...

January 20, 2023 05:56 - 36 minutes - 25 MB

Today's daf is sponsored by Gordon Marx in honor of Sara Marx’s Hebrew birthday. “Happy birthday!” If the Mishna teaches us that one needs to know exactly whose vow he is nullifying from the verse in the Torah saying "her", why when it comes to a mourner, a braita rules that tearing clothing for a relative, if the tearing is done with the wrong person in mind, it is valid, even though it is learned from a verse "for Shaul and for Yonatan" which would seem to also indicate the need one to k...

Today’s daf is sponsored by Sharon Mink in honor of the 40th anniversary of their Aliya. Rav Huna son of Rabbi Yehoshua answered the contradiction in Shmuel's rulings by explaining that Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri's position is not a case where the woman is forbidding something that is not yet in the world as her vow refers to her hands and what they can create, and her hands are in this world. However, the Gemara points out that she is still referring to what her hands will create at a potent...
