Transcript
- 0:00OK, good morning. We are happy Hanukkah last day,
- 0:02we are continuing actual continuing in your idea.
- 0:06We are starting brand new topic Resh Gimel is Helkos Nidarium.
- 0:13Nidarium OK, now why is it here Helkos Nidarium?
- 0:18Well, it's shy to the whole the whole volume, the whole section
- 0:24of issurim. So that's why it applies over
- 0:27here too. Interesting by Mishnayos
- 0:31Nedarium is in Seder Nashim or Isurium is a little bit spread
- 0:37out in the Mishnayos. So it's not it's completely
- 0:40different division Sholkhanarov was versus Mishnayos and there
- 0:48it's a nashim. Why?
- 0:49Because a major emphasis in the Hamish about Nadarian is about
- 0:56women and can the husband undo it?
- 0:58So that's that's why it's brought down over there.
- 1:01That's the way the Maharshian point out.
- 1:04And so I'll just point out, people often ask why does the
- 1:07Sholkhanaric put this over here and not somewhere else?
- 1:10So I'm just going to point out that no one can ever have any
- 1:14Tainas on raviols of Caro, who author the Sholkhanaric, because
- 1:17he's just following his Ravi. I don't I don't mean that
- 1:23literally, but well, he's safer. He's following the safer of the
- 1:27Arbaturim, right, The tour, the son of the rush.
- 1:32So it's the question is always going to be why did the tour do
- 1:37this, not Rev Joseph Karl? OK, so we basically more or less
- 1:42answered and it follows like in Mishnaeus, it's in Nashim.
- 1:46Well, we just finished Nida and Nikvos and certainly it's a
- 1:49little bit it's appropriate. Certainly it's very well
- 1:53appropriate. Now just a very short
- 1:55introduction to Nadarim in general.
- 2:00So a little shout out to Ramosha pointed out, why don't I mention
- 2:04the pasuk in bracious because there it talks about a Kurish
- 2:08Barhu. When he creates man, he creates
- 2:10him and he blows into him. Nishmat Khayim, he gives us an
- 2:14Anishama. I'm not going to get into all
- 2:16the different levels of Nishama Shama Khule, but really a little
- 2:24bit more shot oriented, a little more right here.
- 2:27And then the pasta continues after we get the Neshama, right?
- 2:31Hashama creates all the animals and everything that's living,
- 2:34right? We know the famous, not only the
- 2:39Kuzari is very famous for it, but right, everything in the
- 2:42world has different levels. Everything in existence has
- 2:48enough ish of some sort because that's what gives us kiyos and
- 2:51gives us life, allows us to exist.
- 2:54Just you have different levels, you have stone, you have plants,
- 2:57you have animals, you have guayam and then you get juice.
- 3:02But anyways, mankind Vahiya Adam, when Nephesh Khaya and
- 3:07mankind now becomes or receives, becomes elevated to a Nephesh
- 3:15Khaya. So as Targum translates le
- 3:19nefesh Kaya and he writes Li Rua MI Malala, and he's able to have
- 3:25the KOA of dibor. Dibor comes with a higher
- 3:30intellect. Rashi really says daya and
- 3:32dibor. It's really both, but I'm
- 3:35assuming they're saying the same thing.
- 3:39But anyway, so we see, and when you come with Dibor also comes a
- 3:47certain KOA of Kadusha and the Shamma, you know, with what we
- 3:52say. So having said that, we know the
- 3:55sukim mentioned numerous places, how it's so important to be
- 4:01careful with how you use your word and the sukim.
- 4:06I'll just quote a couple quick Sukim 1 is from Bamidbar and
- 4:10Lamad Pasagimo ish kiidor neder lashem.
- 4:14You're going to make a neder. So then keho how you would say
- 4:17MI peev? Yeah, I said one must do exactly
- 4:20as he says Mozandvarium kafkilmel kaftal.
- 4:23It says mozas Fatah ka tishmore via asita ka share nidarta.
- 4:29So you have to do fulfill whatever comes out of your
- 4:32mouth, what you say you have to do.
- 4:34And then by midwar back there, it says LO yahel devaro.
- 4:38You can't profane your your word.
- 4:43We also know it says mitwar shakur tirhak, the khule.
- 4:49So anyways there are, there is a mitzvah, I say, of saying and
- 4:55being a kayim shvua or another. And there's also a lotas say
- 5:02with malchus if you violate it. So it's something very severe
- 5:06and obviously Dibor has many aspects and the one that we're
- 5:11going to focus on now is Nadarim and Shivoz.
- 5:16Now I'll just say I'll recommend opening up the beginning, at
- 5:22least the very beginning of in the Rambam, Helkos Nadarim and
- 5:28Helkos Shivoz and Kamal Harambe. There's no one who, no offense,
- 5:34there's the shalkhanara. He's just a Kitzer.
- 5:36It's a summary, it's a footnotes, but to understand
- 5:40halachas, the framework, to understand, you know, basics of
- 5:44what's going on, there's nothing like the Rambam.
- 5:47And that's why in the sheer of Shalkhonara, it needs so much
- 5:52explanation. The Rambam doesn't, I mean, you
- 5:54can, there's so much more to delve into the Rambam, but the
- 5:58shot of the Rambam is, is, is tremendous by itself.
- 6:01The Shalkhonara needs a lot of beer, hence the Mishnagura and
- 6:05others. OK, Shaktas Vakule.
- 6:09So let's just get back to our point.
- 6:11The it's I think we're going to see this as we go along, but it
- 6:16helps to just have a short intro and we're halfway through.
- 6:20Don't worry. What's now when a person is
- 6:24Neda. OK, so there's a cut two types
- 6:26of nadarium. The point the Rambam points out,
- 6:30generally speaking, a the the part that we're going to be
- 6:33learning about now is a person is making a nether, which
- 6:40generally is obligating himself to do something, but if it's a
- 6:45nether, it's generally making something usser for him.
- 6:48That's really what it is. So it depends how it's worded
- 6:55and just to compare a shivua to a neder.
- 6:59Generally we're talking about a shivua vitoy versus a neder to
- 7:05ulcer to prohibit something for him lessor al atsman.
- 7:11So what's the difference between the the Khamesh has shivua and
- 7:16it has a neder? What is now?
- 7:19There's many types of shivuas, at least four depending how you
- 7:23want to categorize it. We're not going to get into all
- 7:25of shavuas right now, but what we are going to do is I just
- 7:31want to compare what's the difference between a shavua of
- 7:35not doing something or doing something versus a neder.
- 7:39So a shavua by generally, this is the general definition.
- 7:44I'm not saying there's no exceptions or blurry areas, Gray
- 7:47areas, but generally speaking, a shavua is on the Gavra.
- 7:51A person makes a shivua on himself to do something or not
- 7:56to do something. That's a shivua, not another.
- 7:59If a person is going to take an item, a Heifetz, then then and
- 8:05he says this is usser to me. So then that's a nether.
- 8:09So again, a shivua in real short, a shivua, right?
- 8:12We're talking about doing something or not doing
- 8:16something. A shrewa goes on a the gavra,
- 8:20the person and the neder goes on the hefsa, the item.
- 8:24Now I don't want to get confused, but there's a whole
- 8:28nother category, right? And this is also for everything
- 8:31is derisa level. And there's a whole nother
- 8:34category of nidre hectish or a neder to bring a korban.
- 8:40So again, that Neder is primarily going on an item of
- 8:47bringing a korban, right, It's or hectish making something
- 8:52hectish to bring us a korban that's called nidre hectish.
- 8:55So in a sense it is going on the Heifetz because it's to bring a
- 9:00korban. However, it is a little bit
- 9:02different. So I don't want to get confused.
- 9:04It's a little bit of a different category.
- 9:07Nidre, I'm going to, so I'm going to get there.
- 9:12So what we're discussing in the Sholkhanar over here, as well as
- 9:18the Rambam and Helkos Nadarian is Shvua and Nader to make
- 9:23something usser. What we're not going to discuss
- 9:26over here is a whole different category of Nadarian, which is
- 9:31on again, we said on carbonos. Now, when you make a when you
- 9:37make a Nader to bring a korban to bring the hefez, there's two
- 9:42different ways to make that Ned there.
- 9:43So I just not to get confused, I'll just spell it out real
- 9:46quick and then we'll move on. You can make a Ned there to
- 9:50bring the korban and say it's and say it's harezzo.
- 9:54It's on the particular animal that's called a a nedava.
- 10:01What's the difference when the khamesh says and then when you
- 10:04bring the korban, sometimes it's an nadava, sometimes it's a
- 10:08Nader. So what's the difference over
- 10:10there? And take a subcategory of nadar
- 10:13and nadava is if it goes on the Bahama, that's 4 letters.
- 10:18If it helps you to remember nadava Bahama, it goes on the
- 10:22hefta over there. So therefore if something
- 10:25happens to it, you're to that particular animal, you're not
- 10:28responsible. That's, that's but the
- 10:31difference of a but when you say hurry a lie to bring a corban,
- 10:37so then the responsibility is on the person on the Gavra, it's
- 10:42it's a little bit inverted or a little bit switched.
- 10:46But again, it's a subcategory of nadarim of to bring a corban.
- 10:51So it's, it's functioning in two different ways.
- 10:55But it's true, it's a little bit of a flip for our purposes, what
- 10:58we're learning over here. Shivua goes on the Gavra and
- 11:01then Neder goes on the hepza. When it comes to the korban,
- 11:05then Nedava goes on the hepza and the Neder goes on the Gavra.
- 11:08You when you say hurry, Alai. And that's just the technicality
- 11:11of the Gabe Ahrias to be responsible for it.
- 11:17I'll, I'll just throw it out as a, as a 1/3 category nidre
- 11:21mitzvah to do a mitzvah and neder to give sedaka tainis the
- 11:25hule bahule. So that's another category of
- 11:28nidari. And there I've heard from Ralph
- 11:30Weiner that as far as he knows, most hold it's nidari to do a
- 11:35mitzvah is only midora banan. But the Qassam sofa, he says,
- 11:39calls it a, that it's actually a nidre mitzvah arda raisa.
- 11:44So I am chum. Or look into it.
- 11:47We'll see. OK, let's start reading the
- 11:50sholkhanara inside, OK? Simon reishkimel aizo nidarim
- 11:58meshubahim vezoheim nakunim. Which nidarim vows are
- 12:03praiseworthy and which ones are disgraceful or unfavorable?
- 12:09OK, Olive al tahira gilba nidarim 1 should not be casual
- 12:16or easily often say in a darn why to make a vow.
- 12:21Cole hanoder afafish mikaimo nikra Russia the nikra hote
- 12:27because hazal say, and it's true, the Torah gave us
- 12:32permission to add extra issurium on ourselves.
- 12:37The Torah gave us 613 commandments.
- 12:40Obviously we have much more darabana to help us fulfill the
- 12:45darisas, to help us fill the spirit of the Torah.
- 12:50So we have more, right? Hanukkah, we just had another
- 12:52mitzvah darabanan of lighting candles and saying hollow to
- 12:58mitzvahs darabanan. So we have extra mitzvahs
- 13:01darabanan also fine. But beyond that, the Torah gave
- 13:06us permission, an ability to create extra issurim.
- 13:13However, Hazal say in general, anyone who makes an extra neder
- 13:19to prohibit something on to him to create an extra isser.
- 13:23So he's a rasha and Echo is a wicked and he's a Sinner.
- 13:27Even if he makayam, he fulfills his neder because Hazal said
- 13:32it's actually not a good thing. A couple reasons.
- 13:37So does it say it here? Yeah.
- 13:40Oh well, OK, it's the next EF alludes to it, but I'll just say
- 13:45it out. It's in the shock and the taz,
- 13:46because as soon as a person makes another in Shamayim, I
- 13:52don't know. Malachim, however it works.
- 13:54I don't know, but in Shamayim they open up a new book, a
- 13:59notepad of Shepotkin Pinchas Matzov on the doctor Kim Bahim.
- 14:04So then, but what they do is they open up his book of all of
- 14:08his, what he does, his mitzvahs and his his aveiros.
- 14:12And then they say, oh, let's see if he's going to be Makayam, his
- 14:17neder. I think they I don't know how
- 14:20you want to understand it. Perhaps they add another another
- 14:25line in his book of something he must be Makayam.
- 14:29And if not so they're like, no, because you, you created another
- 14:35mitzvah for yourself in Shamayam or in Isser, now wakes them up
- 14:40and now they're looking at you and they're seeing if you're
- 14:43going to do it. Therefore you get scrutinized
- 14:48even more and you have more chances of failure, of getting
- 14:52punished. And it creates a filth and a
- 14:58barrier between you and a Kurish barkhu.
- 15:01You're an Ashama and the orkadosh of a Kadosh barko, so
- 15:06it's not a good thing. The TAAS explains a little more.
- 15:10Even if you're Makayan, it's a problem because as soon as you
- 15:15made the nether, you should have now gone out of your way to to
- 15:19baised into your rub and do Ataris Nadarim because having a
- 15:24nether is not OK. Keeping the nether is not OK, so
- 15:29you should have gotten rid of the nether neder even before you
- 15:33were makai in the Nether. OK days ether Adam nidro
- 15:39pincasso and iftahat. So the Shokhanarak writes.
- 15:41If you start delaying so then your pincas is open.
- 15:46This notebook is open all right, Different levels in Shamayan,
- 15:51right? There's nothing physical there.
- 15:52Fine Gimel hano there Kilu bana Bama bishad isser habamot the
- 15:58makaimokihikrev alea korban. OK, so a person the Khazal also
- 16:04say another meimer Khazal the Shokanar quotes that a person
- 16:09who makes another It says if right, he vows to do something
- 16:14or something's user for him. It says if he builds a Obama an
- 16:20altar even in the time when it's user to have Bamos right then
- 16:25you have a an altar in your backyard.
- 16:27Nowadays it's user when there was no base on Migdash, when
- 16:31there was a Mishkan and there was no Mishkan in those days.
- 16:34So then there was a Hector Bamos.
- 16:36But now, so it's as if a person it's usser to have an individual
- 16:42altar in your backyard and you did it.
- 16:45And even if you're a Makayam, and even if you're a Makayam,
- 16:48it's as if you brought a Corben, you brought a carbon to a
- 16:52Kurdish barko, but you did it your way in the way that a
- 16:55Kurdish barko specifically told us not to do.
- 16:59So that's not a good thing, right?
- 17:01You want to do a favor for somebody, you have to do it in a
- 17:03way that he's going to receive it as a favor, not in a way that
- 17:08is good for you, but not good for him.
- 17:10That's not a favor Shatovio tereshiyisha al nidro.
- 17:14It's much better for you after you make not to make a neder,
- 17:17but if you did, then you should ask on it to undo it to do
- 17:21ataris nadarian that well, which we will get to those halakhas
- 17:24later. The hani Emilia Bisha are
- 17:26nadarian. So this is in general, however,
- 17:30of all nidre hectis mitzvah of caiman.
- 17:33But if you're going to make a neder to of doing a mitzvah to
- 17:38bring carbonos, so then it's a mitzvah to be makayam that that
- 17:45nether the lo yeesha alayhim alamidouhak.
- 17:49And you should not ask to undo it unless it's necessary, unless
- 17:54you need to making it to start with.
- 17:58We will let's finish reading. Perhaps it'll be
- 18:00self-explanatory. Haggah, the Hein IM Nishba al
- 18:05azadavar lo yeesha al Allah alamidouhak.
- 18:08Any time you swear to do something.
- 18:12Yeah, I think it means that shuwa to do something good, then
- 18:16you shouldn't undo it. Unless it's me.
- 18:19Doha. Assuming he's talking about a
- 18:21mitzvah, A shuwa. OK, no.
- 18:23Shuwa's all different. If you look in the Taz Taz
- 18:26quotes the Mordecai who says that the reason is because
- 18:30according to the Gahonim, there are some opinions who say a
- 18:35shuwa cannot have a hatara. You can do ataris nadarim on a
- 18:41nadir. Everybody agrees, but not
- 18:43everybody agrees that you there is a concept of ataris nadarim
- 18:47on a shuwa. So he says a shuwa since it
- 18:50might you could be you can't undo it.
- 18:52So once you make it already, he says try and be Macaim it unless
- 18:59you unless you think you're going to fail.
- 19:01So then you should also do ataris nadarim.
- 19:03Fine, let's go to Dalid. Sorry, lizar shalayudar yadur
- 19:08shum davar vafil sidaka aintov lidor.
- 19:13Now, first of all, he says a person should not make another
- 19:17on anything, even for a mitzvah, even for sidaka Allahim
- 19:22yashnoviado yiten miyad. If you have money in your
- 19:26pocket, you have money in your bank account, and you want to
- 19:29give sidaka, don't make another. Give it right now the IMLAB
- 19:33Loyidor Achiello and if and if you don't have it right now,
- 19:39then you don't have it right now.
- 19:40Don't make a nether. You can say blee nether.
- 19:43You can say I will try, but do not make an actual nether to do
- 19:48so. If you don't have it and if you
- 19:49have it, just give it, Don't make again.
- 19:52There's no good reason to make a nether.
- 19:53Maybe an appeal on Chavez. I don't yontiff, I don't know.
- 19:56So then maybe it's a good idea, I don't know.
- 20:00Post game sidaka with sorry Livsok Ibrahim Omar buli neder.
- 20:05Now if like on Shabbos you should do it with the Lushan
- 20:10Buli neder. I have an ozarama farshim.
- 20:12I'll just point out I don't know what you have.
- 20:15He says you it's. It could also be considered a
- 20:18good thing to make a Nader if it's in order to encourage and
- 20:26get other guys to do A to do a mitzvah.
- 20:31He also quotes by shame. There are the buzz that it's in
- 20:36order to encourage his own yourself to do to give Sedaka.
- 20:41It could also be a good thing. So again, bottom line, it seems
- 20:45like if it's something for a mitzvah, sometimes for a mitzvah
- 20:50it's a good idea and sometimes it's not.
- 20:52Kind of depends what's your motivation and what's what's
- 20:56really necessary to make you and at the end to do it or get
- 21:00others to do it. But proceed with definite
- 21:04caution. Maybe Bleena, there's much
- 21:06better to say that, but if it's not for a mitzvah, so then for
- 21:11sure it's not a good idea. Hey, they ate Zara muttar
- 21:16leindor in a time of difficulty, they ate Zara.
- 21:19So then it's mutter because again, it's going to get you to
- 21:22to davin and to do more mitzvahs.
- 21:25We're talking about to do mitzvahs.
- 21:27OK, Vav Omar eshna Perez vyari shamaine yitrashel badavar the
- 21:34the yaray shama yitrashel badavar shariley and minder
- 21:39lizzzy nafshe. You got a person.
- 21:41It's OK to say I'm going to learn this.
- 21:43Take it upon yourself because you're afraid if you don't make
- 21:47yourself this nether, then you're going to fall behind and
- 21:50not do it. But make sure it's something
- 21:53that you know, you could be makaya vuhain imyare.
- 21:56She's kafu yitzer via for Ali's a mitzvah mitzvahs Lotas say
- 22:01you're afraid your yitzahara is going to get too strong for you
- 22:03and you are going to violate a love.
- 22:07So that or yitra show me kiyo mitzvahs.
- 22:09I say you're going to fall, you're going to be lazy and not
- 22:11do the mitzvah. So then mitzvah Li shava validor
- 22:15cadilozzari is atsuma. So then it's actually a mitzvah
- 22:18and a good thing to to make a Shiva or a nether for yourself
- 22:23to do it, Assuming it's going to help, of course.
- 22:28Right? You're playing with fire.
- 22:30OK, maybe we'll just read one last one.
- 22:33It's the same topic Zion Misha talking mass of a person who
- 22:38makes the nether, though in order to he does it in order to
- 22:45shame shaman basically for good reasons.
- 22:47Hareza zari Zumashuba and that's actually considered zealous and
- 22:51praiseworthy. Keitzad Mishaya zealot vasar
- 22:54atsuma basar Chanel Shana time person.
- 22:58Wow. He loves to eat meat and he
- 23:00makes a net another not to. He's a glutton and he makes
- 23:04another not to eat any meat for one or two years.
- 23:07Oshaya shoga behind or he's a drunkard and he just drinks all
- 23:11the time. Vyasarayana latsma Zaman maruba
- 23:14or he makes himself asar to drink wine for a long period of
- 23:17time. Asar asar olam or he says it's
- 23:20asar. I'm never going to drink
- 23:21whiskey, whatever, but hey Misha yarode shalmanim viniva lahone
- 23:26or he's chasing after money and the asar al atsma amtanote aniat
- 23:32anche medina's own. So he I'm about to note haniat
- 23:37anshe Medina zo And so he answers himself from benefiting
- 23:40from presents or certain pleasures from certain people
- 23:44and the nobleman rich people. The thing me shahaya midgayeb
- 23:49byovyev or a person is just swallowing and how beautiful he
- 23:53is and he's just always thinking about looks.
- 23:56So then vanader Benazir khayyotse benadarium kulam Derek
- 24:02of odala shame lashem. Hey, OK, so then if a person
- 24:06makes another and make himself like a nausea, let his hair grow
