Nazir 32: It's Not the Staff That Sanctifies
Talking Talmud - A podcast by Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
Categories:
One who vows to be a nazir, then regrets it, and wants out - but the sage he asks to dissolve the vow tells him he must continue. Plus, how this regret lines up with consecration that was done in error. Also, what about animals that are stolen and/or blemished, and how that changes things (or doesn't) for a nazir's vow. Plus, the early practicing Jews and how they apparently didn't know about the destruction of the Temple! (And therefore people got stuck in the middle of their periods of nezirut).
