Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Joe Rosenstein looks at Masechet Nazir, Daf 7.


Although Chapter 1 of Tractate Nazir has led us in many interesting directions, we have to remember that the internal theme of the chapter is on the implications of the specific language of the vow on the person’s n’zirut. Today’s daf focuses on the implications of the person’s vow on the length of his or her n’zirut if the vow mentions duration. For example, the vow to be a nazir for 31 days is different from the vow to be a nazir for 30 days and 1 day. What happens if a person takes a vow to be a nazir for as long as it takes to walk from A to B? In this episode, the question of whether the tradition approves or disapproves of the nazir is also discussed.
