A Journey of a Mile Begins with One Small Step

Bli Neder
A "neder" is a formal commitment. "B'li Neder" means "without
making a formal commitment." Not to be true to ones word is itself
considered a sin
in Judaism. Therefore, not to become entrapped in the sin of violating ones commitments,
one adds this expression (B'li Neder) when committing oneself to an action or behavior such
as in this calendar. To avoid confusion - one must truly intend to keep ones word in order
for this qualifier (or this calendar for that matter) to have any real meaning. This expression is not valid in business contracts
and legal obligations
