At the same time, someone who vows not to enter a house only prohibits entry from the <em>agaf<\/em> \u2013 where the door closes \u2013 inwards to the house.<\/p>\n<p>When the walls of a house are thick, we will often find a situation where there will be a large amount of space in an entranceway, due to the fact that the place where the door is hinged to the wall \u2013 the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/dynamic\/content.asp?id=231\">agaf<\/a><\/em> \u2013 is closest to the interior of the house. It is clear that if the door is located on the outer part of the <em>agaf<\/em>, the entire entranceway will be considered part of the house; our Mishnah is teaching how we should view the entranceway when it is separated from the house by the door.<\/p>\n<p>The last rule of the Mishnah is notable not because of the area in the house that is forbidden, but because of the area outside the house that remains permitted. Even if the door is in the middle of an entranceway, the outer part will not be considered part of the house for the purposes of this vow. In this the house is very different from the city, where an area outside the city is viewed as being part of the city with regard to this <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#halachah\">halakha<\/a><\/em>. Furthermore, this stands in contrast to other areas of <em>halakha<\/em> \u2013 for example, the holiness of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/bc.htm#beithamikdash\">Temple<\/a> and Jerusalem \u2013 where sometimes the area of entrances like doorways and windows are considered to have the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/jl.htm#kedushah\">kedusha<\/a><\/em> of the inside.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u>Nedarim 57a-b<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Jewish law, the fruit of a newly planted tree cannot be used for the first three seasons. During that time any fruit that is produced is <em>orlah<\/em> and is prohibited. In the fourth year the fruit is <em>neta revai<\/em> which must be brought to Jerusalem and eaten in a state of ritual purity. Only in the fifth year will the fruit be permitted to be used normally.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara<\/a> brings the ruling of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=164&amp;letter=A\">Rabbi Abahu<\/a> quoting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=357&amp;letter=J\">Rabbi Yohanan<\/a> according to whom this same rule will apply even if a &#8220;younger&#8221; branch bearing fruit is grafted on an &#8220;older&#8221; branch (one that is already more than five years old) \u2013 even in a case when the fruits continued to develop and grew more than 200 times their original size (under ordinary circumstances, if <em>orlah<\/em> gets mixed in with more than 200 times permissible fruit, the <em>orlah<\/em> will become nullified from a <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#halachah\">halakhic<\/a><\/em> perspective).<\/p>\n<p>Most of the commentaries limit this ruling to a case where the grafted branch already had fruits on it at the time it was attached to the &#8220;older&#8221; tree. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=859&amp;letter=A\">Rashba<\/a>, if the &#8220;younger&#8221; branch was empty of fruits at the time it was grafted on to the &#8220;older&#8221; tree, we would view it as part of the tree and its fruits would be permitted.<\/p>\n<p>Grafting trees is done in a number of ways, and it is an important part of agricultural work. When a farmer wants to improve or diversify the produce growing on his trees, one of the most common methods to use is grafting, where a branch is connected into \u2013 or onto \u2013 a mature tree of a similar kind. In our case, the Gemara uses the expression <em>yaldah she-sibkhah bi-zekenah<\/em> \u2013 when a young branch is connected with an older tree. <em>Sibkhah<\/em> implies complication or confusion, which may indicate that this case is not a normal situation of grafting \u2013 which is called <em>harkavah<\/em> \u2013 but perhaps a case where the branch remained partially connected to its original tree at the time of grafting, and was not removed from it until it had become fully integrated with the older tree.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u>Nedarim 58a-b<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the Sabbatical year, fruits that grow are <em>hefker<\/em> \u2013 ownerless \u2013 and available to all \u2013 men and beasts. As long as the fruits are available on the trees, a person can pick them to eat immediately, or to store for later use. Once the harvest season for a particular fruit is over, and that type of fruit is no longer available on the trees, there is an obligation of <em>bi&#8217;ur<\/em> \u2013 of &#8220;cleaning out&#8221; the fruit.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=910&amp;letter=M\">Ramban<\/a> in his commentary on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/torah.htm\">Torah<\/a>, at the time of <em>bi&#8217;ur<\/em> the person who is storing fruit must remove it from his property and declare it to be <em>hefker<\/em>. At that time it can be taken and eaten by anyone. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=905&amp;letter=M\">Rambam<\/a> understands that <em>bi&#8217;ur<\/em> means destruction, and that the fruits of the Sabbatical year can only be eaten as long as they are available in the fields. After that time, the fruits are forbidden and must be destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara<\/a> contrasts things that are considered <em>davar she-yesh lo matirin<\/em> (something that is forbidden today, but will become permitted at a later time) and things that are <em>davar she-en lo matirin<\/em> (something that is forbidden forever). In the latter case the concept of <em>bittul<\/em> (nullification when mixed with a larger volume of permitted food) applies, while in the former case, <em>bittul<\/em> does not apply (since it will become permitted simply with the passage of time, there is no pressing reason to employ the rules of nullification). Thus, the Gemara quotes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=774&amp;letter=S\">Rabbi Shimon<\/a> who lists forbidden foods \u2013 like <em>terumah<\/em> (tithes) and <em>kilei ha-kerem<\/em> (grape vines and grain that grew together as a forbidden mixture) \u2013 that are nullified when mixed with larger amounts of permitted foods, since they are all <em>davar she-en lo matirin<\/em>. On the other hand, such things as <em>tevel<\/em> (produce that is forbidden because it has not yet been tithed, which will be permitted after tithing) or <em>hadash<\/em> (grain that is harvested before <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/np.htm#pesach\">Pesach<\/a><\/em> that is forbidden until after the first day of <em>Pesach<\/em> when the <em>korban ha-omer<\/em> is brought) are considered <em>davar she-yesh lo matirin<\/em> and will not become nullified.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to Sabbatical fruits, Rabbi Shimon is quoted by the Gemara as saying that they are considered a <em>davar she-yesh lo matirin<\/em> that cannot become <em>batel<\/em> (nullified). This explanation works well according to the Ramban, who believes that after the time of <em>bi&#8217;ur<\/em> the fruits can become permitted by declaring them ownerless. According to the Rambam, who believes that such fruits become forbidden forever, we will have to interpret the case like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=309&amp;letter=N\">Ran<\/a>, who suggests that Rabbi Shimon must be referring to the time prior to <em>bi&#8217;ur<\/em>, saying that any mixture that includes <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/s.htm#shemitah\">shemitta<\/a><\/em> fruits must be eaten before that time.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u>Nedarim 59a-b<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/dynamic\/DafYomi_details.asp?id=912\">yesterday&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em><\/a>\u00a0we learned of the distinction between things that are considered <em>davar she-yesh lo matirin<\/em> (something that is forbidden today, but will become permitted at a later time) and things that are <em>davar she-en lo matirin<\/em> (something that is forbidden forever). In the latter case, the concept of <em>bittul<\/em> (nullification when mixed with a larger volume of permitted food) applies, while in the former case, <em>bittul<\/em> does not apply (since it will become permitted simply with the passage of time, there is no pressing reason to employ the rules of nullification). Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara<\/a> questions whether something that is forbidden because of a vow can be considered a <em>davar she-yesh lo matirin<\/em> on the basis of the fact that a person can undo the vow by consulting with a rabbi and questioning the assumptions that he made while taking the <em>neder<\/em>, or vow (a method referred to by the Gemara as being <em>sho&#8217;el<\/em> on the <em>neder<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>While the Gemara considers the possibility that a <em>neder<\/em> should be considered a <em>davar she-yesh lo matirin<\/em>, as we learned on yesterday&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em>, it is clear that <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=471&amp;letter=H&amp;search=terumah\">terumah<\/a><\/em> is not considered a <em>davar she-yesh lo matirin<\/em> even though if a person believes that the produced was tithed in error he can go to a rabbi and be <em>sho&#8217;el<\/em> on the tithing. The Gemara distinguishes between the two by quoting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=91&amp;letter=N\">Rabbi Natan<\/a> who rules that someone who takes a <em>neder<\/em> is compared to a person who builds a forbidden altar and when someone fulfills his <em>neder<\/em> it is as though he brought a forbidden sacrifice on it. Thus, Rabbi Natan considers it a <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#mitzvah\">mitzvah<\/a><\/em> to annul one&#8217;s vows, while it is certainly not recommended for a person to annul his tithes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/rashi.htm\">Rashi<\/a> explains that in the case of <em>nedarim<\/em>, even though the vow is still in force, since it is a <em>mitzvah<\/em> to be <em>sho&#8217;el<\/em> we consider it as though it had already been annulled. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=1930&amp;letter=A\">Rosh<\/a> understands the reasoning as being that we work with the assumption that the <em>neder <\/em>will be annulled, so we consider it a <em>davar she-yesh lo matirin<\/em>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u>Nedarim 60a-b<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#mishna\">Mishnah<\/a> on our <em>daf <\/em>teaches that a person who vows not to drink wine &#8220;today&#8221; only needs to refrain from drinking wine until nightfall. In the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ou.org\/life\/wp-admin\/%2E.:..:..:Local%20Settings:Temporary%20Internet%20Files:OLK6C:ewishencyclopedia.com:view.jsp%3Fartid=280&amp;letter=I\">Rabbi Yirmiyah<\/a> rules that the Mishnah&#8217;s ruling notwithstanding, in such a case the person must go to a rabbi to be <em>sho&#8217;el<\/em> on his <em>neder<\/em> (to request that the vow be annulled).<\/p>\n<p>The <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=1961&amp;letter=A\">Shitah Mekubetzet<\/a><\/em> and others write that Rabbi Yirmiyah is not explaining the Mishnah, rather he is adding an additional injunction to the basic law; according to the Mishnah, there would be no need to be <em>sho&#8217;el<\/em> on the <em>neder<\/em> at nightfall. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=859&amp;letter=A\">Rashba<\/a> writes that even Rabbi Yirmiyah would agree that in a case where a person vows to fast for the day, he can begin eating at nightfall, since it is clear that the person&#8217;s intention was to fast only until nightfall.<\/p>\n<p>Two reasons are presented by the Gemara in explanation of Rabbi Yirmiyah&#8217;s ruling:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Rav Yosef says that it is a rabbinic injunction that is applied because we are afraid that a person may confuse a case of taking a vow &#8220;today&#8221; with a case where a person vows to refrain from drinking wine &#8220;for one day.&#8221; According to the Mishnah, taking a vow not to drink wine &#8220;for one day&#8221; obligates the person to keep the <em>neder<\/em> for a 24 hour period.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=41&amp;letter=R\">Ravina<\/a> quotes Rav Yosef as saying that Rabbi Yirmiyah is following the ruling of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=91&amp;letter=N\">Rabbi Natan<\/a> who believes that making <em>nedarim<\/em> and keeping them is equivalent to building a forbidden altar and sacrificing on it (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/dynamic\/DafYomi_details.asp?id=913\">yesterday&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em><\/a>). Thus, even if the vow was fulfilled, we still recommend that it be annulled by a rabbi.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>According to many of the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/r.htm#rishon\">rishonim<\/a><\/em> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/bc.htm#baaleitosafot\">Tosafot<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=1930&amp;letter=A\">Rosh<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=859&amp;letter=A\">Rashba<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=309&amp;letter=N\">Ran<\/a>), Ravina is not disagreeing with Rav Yosef&#8217;s original explanation, rather he is adding a further reason for Rabbi Yirmiyah&#8217;s ruling. The Rosh and Ran add that according to this explanation, if the <em>neder<\/em> that was made was a <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#mitzvah\">mitzvah<\/a><\/em>, there would be no need to annul it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u>Nedarim 61a-b<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to define terms and the length of time that a vow must be kept, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#mishna\">Mishnah<\/a> on our <em>daf <\/em>distinguishes between &#8220;until the summer&#8221; which means until the summer begins, and &#8220;until the summer passes&#8221; which means until the summer is over.<\/p>\n<p>The Hebrew word for summer is <em>kayitz<\/em>. It should be noted that in Hebrew (although not in other related languages) the word <em>kayitz<\/em> has another meaning, which is similar, but not identical. See II <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/shmuel.htm\">Shmuel<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mechon-mamre.org\/p\/pt\/pt08b16.htm\">16:1-2<\/a>, where the term is used to mean specifically the period of the fig harvest. These two meanings intersect inasmuch as figs are harvested during the summer (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/yeshayahu.htm\">Yeshayahu<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mechon-mamre.org\/p\/pt\/pt1028.htm#4\">28:4<\/a>). Unlike other fruits, figs are harvested by a simple cutting motion (to cut in Hebrew is <em>liktzotz<\/em>) that removes the fruit from the tree.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, our Mishnah is referring to the fig harvest. Thus we find that the <em>kayitz<\/em> begins when the fruit is collected in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/dynamic\/content.asp?id=232\">baskets<\/a> and it ends when the <em>maktzu&#8217;ot<\/em> are folded up. What exactly the folding of the <em>maktzu&#8217;ot<\/em> means is the subject of some discussion among the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/r.htm#rishon\">rishonim<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Most <em>rishonim<\/em> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/rashi.htm\">Rashi<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/rabbis\/ritva.htm\">Ritva<\/a> and others) suggest that it mean that the knives used for harvesting are stored away. Some suggest that they were foldable knives, which is why they are referred to in that way.<\/p>\n<p>The <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=106&amp;letter=N\">Arukh<\/a><\/em> explains that the figs were strung together when they were dried. The strings of figs are called <em>ketzi&#8217;ot<\/em>, and folding the <em>maktzu&#8217;ot<\/em> refers to the completion of this process.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=905&amp;letter=M\">Rambam<\/a>, both in his commentary to the Mishnah and in his <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=905&amp;letter=M#3074\">Mishneh Torah<\/a><\/em>, explains that <em>maktzu&#8217;ot<\/em> are the mats on which the figs were dried. Folding up the mats was an indication that the season was over and that they were being stored for next year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u>Nedarim 62a-b<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In his <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=905&amp;letter=M#3074\">Mishnah Torah<\/a><\/em> (<em>Hilkhot Talmud Torah<\/em> 3:10-12), the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=905&amp;letter=M\">Rambam<\/a> states in very strong terms that a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/torah.htm\">Torah<\/a> scholar cannot rely on his study as a means of support, rather that he should work to support himself. Among the proofs that he brings for this ruling (see his commentary on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#mishna\">Mishnah<\/a>, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/np.htm#pirkei\">Pirkei Avot<\/a><\/em> 4:7) is a story that appears on our <em>daf<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>As we learned on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/dynamic\/DafYomi_details.asp?id=915\">yesterday&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em><\/a>, once the <em>maktzu&#8217;ot<\/em> were put away, the fig harvest was considered to be over. Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara<\/a> quotes a <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=247&amp;letter=B&amp;search=baraita\">baraita<\/a><\/em> that teaches how at that point, figs that were left in the field were considered to be ownerless and could be taken and eaten by anyone. Based on this ruling, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=66&amp;letter=T\">Rabbi Tarfon<\/a> was once out walking in the field, and ate some leftover figs, as was the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#halachah\">halakhah<\/a><\/em>. The owner of the field, who had been plagued by a thief throughout the year, did not recognize Rabbi Tarfon, and, seeing someone eating his remaining figs, believed him to be the thief. He pounced upon Rabbi Tarfon and put him in a sack, planning to throw him in the river. Upon realizing his precarious situation, Rabbi Tarfon moaned aloud &#8220;Woe to you, Tarfon, that this man will kill you.&#8221; When he realized that it was a Sage, Rabbi Tarfon, in his sack, the man left him and ran away.<\/p>\n<p>The Gemara brings <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=164&amp;letter=A\">Rabbi Abahu<\/a> who quoted Rabbi Chananiah ben Gamliel as saying that from then on Rabbi Tarfon felt bad that he had made use of his name and his title (i.e. he had made use of the Torah) to save himself, when he could have offered to pay the man instead.<\/p>\n<p>Based on this exchange, the Rambam concludes that we can see how even in desperate straits the Sages felt it inappropriate to make use of the Torah for mundane purposes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>In addition to his monumental translation and commentary on the Talmud, Rabbi Steinsaltz has authored dozens of books and hundreds of articles on a variety of topics, both Jewish and secular.
