Nazir 66: The Prophet Samuel - Nazir or No?
Talking Talmud - A podcast by Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
Categories:
The Gemara goes on in its discussion about seminal emissions and various stages or levels of impurity. Including the "zav" status of a convert. A final mishnah: on Shmuel the prophet - was he a nazir or not?? (Does "morah" in the text mean razor, as it does in the context of Nazir, or "fear," which would make the man fearless, in a powerful re-read of the text). Also, the case of sages bentsching (saying Grace after Meals), and the discussion turns to the one who blesses vs. the one who answers "Amen," in terms of which is preferable. Plus, closing with the repeated passage of the Torah scholars who increase peace in the world. Note the mnemonic of "bonayich."
