First he says &#8220;When my son is born, I will become a <em>nazir<\/em>.&#8221; Then he says &#8220;I accept upon myself to be a <em>nazir<\/em> for 100 days.&#8221; It is clear to the Mishnah that he must keep the laws of <em>nezirut<\/em> immediately. The question that arises is what to do if his son is born in the course of the next 100 days. The Mishnah says that if his son is born any time up until the seventieth day, <em>lo hifsid kelum<\/em> \u2013 he does not lose anything. If he is born after the seventieth day, <em>soter shivim<\/em> \u2013 he has lost seventy.<\/p>\n<p>There are two basic approaches to the rule taught in the Mishnah.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/rashi.htm\">Rashi<\/a>, if the son is born before the seventieth day, the man interrupts his 100-day <em>nezirut<\/em> and keeps the standard 30-day <em>nezirut<\/em> that he accepted upon himself in celebration of his son&#8217;s birth \u2013 the <em>nezirut<\/em> that he accepted first. Upon completion of those 30 days, he can return to the 100-day <em>nezirut<\/em> that he had begun earlier. Should the son be born later than the seventieth day, since no <em>nezirut<\/em> can last less than 30 days all of the previous days are lost and the man must begin his 100-day <em>nezirut<\/em> over again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/bc.htm#baaleitosafot\">Tosafot<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=1930&amp;letter=A\">Rosh<\/a> offer a different approach. Should the son be born prior to the seventieth day, then the 30-day <em>nezirut<\/em> in honor of the son&#8217;s birth can be included within the 100 day <em>nezirut<\/em>, and the man can fulfill both of his obligations during that period; he will bring two sets of sacrifices at the end of that period. If the son was born after the seventieth day, then the father must begin a separate 30-day <em>nezirut<\/em> to honor his son, and when that is over, he should return to and complete his original <em>nezirut<\/em>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u>Nazir 16a-b<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The third <em>perek <\/em>of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#masechet\">Masechet<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/dynamic\/DafYomi_details.asp?Id=946\">Nazir<\/a><\/em> that begins on today&#8217;s <em>daf <\/em>deals with issues having to do with the exact length of time of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=142&amp;letter=N\">nezirut<\/a> <\/em>and when it ends.

Not only does he become a <em>nazir<\/em> as soon as he becomes <em>tahor<\/em> (ritually pure), but even while in the cemetery he is not allowed to drink wine or cut his hair.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u>Nazir 17a-b<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On <a href=\"http:\/\/steinsaltz.org\/dynamic\/DafYomi_details.asp?id=961\">yesterday&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em><\/a>\u00a0we were introduced to the opinion of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=357&amp;letter=J\">Rabbi Yochanan<\/a>, who says that if a person accepts <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=142&amp;letter=N\">nezirut<\/a> <\/em>upon himself while standing in a cemetery, he does become a <em>nazir<\/em>, his status as <em>tamei<\/em> (ritually defiled) notwithstanding. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara<\/a> on our <em>daf<\/em> accepts Rabbi Yochanan&#8217;s position and concludes that a person who is warned that he should not accept <em>nezirut<\/em> given his situation (he is standing in a cemetery and will immediately become <em>tamei<\/em>) will be punished with <em>malkot<\/em> (lashes) if he does so.<\/p>\n<p>This ruling leads <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=5&amp;letter=R\">Rava<\/a> to ask whether there is a minimum length of time that a <em>nazir<\/em> must remain in the cemetery in order to be liable for <em>malkot<\/em>. This question is based on a parallel law that we find regarding the Temple. Just as a <em>nazir<\/em> cannot enter a cemetery, it is forbidden for a person who is <em>tamei<\/em> (ritually defiled) to enter the precincts of the Temple. With regard to a <em>tamei<\/em> person in the Temple, the law is that unless he is there for a length of time that is considered &#8220;significant&#8221; \u2013 defined as the amount of time that it takes to bow down \u2013 he is not liable for punishment. Rava&#8217;s question is whether the law would be the same for a <em>nazir<\/em>. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/rabbis\/meiri.htm\">Me&#8217;iri<\/a> points out that Rava does not anticipate that the requirement would be identical for the <em>nazir<\/em> and the <em>tamei<\/em> person entering the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/bc.htm#beithamikdash\">mikdash<\/a><\/em>; nevertheless, the concept of a minimum stay might be applied here as it is in the case of the Temple.<\/p>\n<p>Since the rule requiring a minimum stay in the Temple is a law whose source is a <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=818&amp;letter=S\">halacha le-Moshe mi-Sinai<\/a><\/em> \u2013 an oral tradition from Mount Sinai \u2013 it is not clear whether it can be applied to other <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#halachah\">halakhot<\/a><\/em> as well.

Upon his safe arrival at home, she began her <em>nezirut<\/em>, and upon completion of the seven years she went to bring her sacrifices in Israel, where she was told by Bet Hillel that she was obligated to begin her <em>nezirut<\/em> over again. The Mishnah relates that at the very end of those seven years she became <em>teme&#8217;ah<\/em> (ritually defiled) and was forced to begin her <em>nezirut<\/em> a third time.<\/p>\n<p>Heleni was the queen of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=801&amp;letter=A\">Adiabene<\/a>, a small kingdom in the north of Syria on the banks of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Euphrates\">Euphrates<\/a>.\u00a0 In the generation prior to the destruction of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Second_Temple\">Second Temple<\/a>, Heleni, together with her sons <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Monobaz_II\">Monbaz<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=384&amp;letter=I\">Izates<\/a>, began to study <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/torah.htm\">Torah<\/a> with Jews who traveled through their kingdom, and eventually converted to Judaism. It appears that other members of the ruling elite did so as well. Heleni visited <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/yerushalayim.htm\">Jerusalem<\/a> a number of times and made donations both to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/bc.htm#beithamikdash\">Temple<\/a> and to the destitute people living in Israel.

As is mentioned in several places in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/dynamic\/content.asp?id=50\">Talmud<\/a>, Heleni was a <em>giyoret tzedek<\/em> &#8211; a sincere convert to Judaism -who accepted upon herself the constraints of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#halachah\">Halacha<\/a><\/em> as taught by the Sages.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u>Nazir 20a-b<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Choosing to become a <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=142&amp;letter=N\">nazir<\/a><\/em> is essentially a type of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=115&amp;letter=V\">neder<\/a><\/em>\u00a0(vow). Thus, a woman who accepts upon herself to be a <em>nezirah<\/em> can have her statement annulled by her father or husband if they object to it on the day that they hear of it, just like any other case of <em>neder<\/em>. The first <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#mishna\">Mishnah<\/a> in the fourth <em>perek <\/em>rules that in a case where a woman says <em>hareini nezirah<\/em> \u2013 &#8220;I accept upon myself the rules of a <em>nazir<\/em>&#8221; \u2013 and her husband says in response <em>va-ani<\/em> \u2013 &#8220;I am, as well,&#8221; the husband can no longer annul his wife&#8217;s vow of <em>nezirut<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara<\/a> in <a href=\"http:\/\/steinsaltz.org\/dynamic\/DafYomi_details.asp?id=855\">Nedarim<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/dynamic\/DafYomi_details.asp?id=924\">70a<\/a>) initially tries to use this ruling to conclude that once the woman\u2019s <em>neder<\/em> has been approved by her husband, he cannot change his mind and do <em>hafarah<\/em> on the <em>neder<\/em> (annul the vow) later that day, since a <em>hakamah<\/em> (a statement of support for the vow) that has been made cannot be changed. The Gemara explains, however, that there is a different rule that is applicable in this case. In fact, we do not consider the husband&#8217;s statement as merely accepting <em>nezirut<\/em> himself; rather we understand it to be an emphatic approval of his wife&#8217;s statement.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=309&amp;letter=N\">Ran<\/a> in <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#masechet\">Masechet<\/a><\/em><em> Nedarim<\/em> explains that the statement that he made \u2013 <em>va-ani<\/em> \u2013 is seen as a statement of approval, as if he said &#8220;I approve of your <em>neder<\/em> forever.&#8221; In this case, it appears that his statement expresses his approval. By accepting <em>nezirut<\/em> himself we understand him to be saying that he is so comfortable with the idea of <em>nezirut<\/em> that he is willing to accept it upon himself. Had he, in fact, desired to reject his wife&#8217;s vow, we anticipate that he would have clearly said that he was accepting <em>nezirut<\/em> upon himself even as he was forbidding his wife from keeping her vow.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><u>Nazir 21a-b<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#mishna\">Mishnah<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/dynamic\/DafYomi_details.asp?Id=965\">20b<\/a>) teaches that when a person accepts <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=142&amp;letter=N\">nezirut<\/a> <\/em>upon himself, others who hear him can join by saying <em>va-ani<\/em> \u2013 &#8220;me, too.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=757&amp;letter=S\">Reish Lakish<\/a> limits this to a situation where the statement of <em>va-ani <\/em>is made <em>toch kedei dibur<\/em> \u2013 within the amount of time it takes to say something \u2013 which the Gemara interprets to mean within the amount of time that it takes for a student to greet his teacher.<\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to offer support to Reish Lakish&#8217;s position, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara<\/a> points out that our Mishnah appears to limit the number of people who can join the <em>nazir<\/em> by saying <em>va-ani<\/em> to just two individuals, since it says <em>va-ani<\/em> just two times. The suggestion is that since a third person would not be able to say <em>va-ani <\/em>within the time limit, it appears that we are limited by the time restraint. This reading of the Mishnah is rejected by the Gemara, which uses an interesting phrase \u2013 <em>tana ki rukhla lihshiv ve-lezil!?<\/em> \u2013 &#8220;is the author of the Mishnah a peddler that he must list all cases?&#8221; In other words, the Mishnah may believe that even more people responding <em>va-ani<\/em> can become <em>nezirim<\/em>; it did not feel obligated to repeat the word over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>rukhla<\/em> mentioned by the Gemara is a type of peddler who traditionally traveled from one community to another, servicing small villages or, in larger cities, going from house to house with his wares. The peddler usually traveled with his peddler&#8217;s basket, a box that contained many compartments holding perfumes, jewelry, and small utensils like thread, pins and needles. Since he carried many items, upon engaging the interest of a potential customer the peddler would recite a list of things that he had for sale. The ability of peddlers to recite this list led to the expression used by the Gemara relating to a detailed repetition of a list of things.<\/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.
