IMPOSING NEZIRUS ON ONE'S SON (Yerushalmi Perek 4 Halachah 6 Daf 19a)

îúðé' äàéù îãéø àú áðå áðæéø åàéï äàùä îãøú àú áðä áðæéø

(a)

(Mishnah): A man can impose Nezirus on his son, but a woman cannot impose Nezirus on her son.

[ãó éè òîåã á] ëéöã âéìç àå ùâéìçåäå ÷øåáéí îéçä àå ùîéçåäå ÷øåáéí

(b)

How is this? If the son shaved, or relatives shaved him, or he protested, or relatives protested (the Nezirus is annulled);

1.

If an animal was designated for the Chatas, it must die. If it was for the Olah, it is offered for an Olah. If it was for the Shelamim, it is offered for a Shelamim, and it is eaten for one day [and a night, like Shalmei Nazir], and it does not need bread.

2.

If he had Ma'os Stumim, they go to Nedavah.

îòåú îôåøùéí ãîé çèàú éìëå ìéí äîìç ìà ðäðéï åìà îåòìéï

3.

If money was specified for each Korban, Demei Chatas is thrown into the Dead Sea. We may not benefit [from it; if one benefited], Me'ilah does not apply;

ãîé òåìä éáåàå òåìä åîåòìéï áäï

4.

Demei Olah is used to buy an Olah. [If one benefited from the money,] Me'ilah applies;

ãîé ùìîéí éáéà ùìîéí åðàëìéï ìéåí àçã åàéðï èòåðéï ìçí

5.

Demei Shelamim is used to buy a Shelamim. It is eaten for one day, and it does not need bread.

äàéù îâìç òì ðæéøåú àáéå åàéï äàùä îâìçú òì ðæéøåú àáéä

(c)

A man can be Megale'ach with Nezirus Aviv (money that his father designated for his Korbanos Nezirus), but a daughter cannot be Megale'ach with Nezirus Aviha.

(d)

Question: What is the case?

îé ùäéä àáéå ðæéø åäôøéù îòåú ñúåîéï òì ðæéøåúå åîú åàîø äøéðé ðæéø òì îðú ùàâìç òì ðæéøåú îòåú àáà àîø øáé éåñé äøé àìå éôìå ìðãáä àéï äåà îâìç òì ðæéøåú àáéå

1.

If one was a Nazir and designated Ma'os Stumim for his Nezirus, and died, and his son said 'I accept Nezirus on condition to be Megale'ach with my father's Nezirus money, it goes to Nedavah, this is not one who is Megale'ach on his father's Nezirus!

åàé æäå ùäåà îâìç òì ðæéøåú àáéå îé ùäéä äåà åàáéå ðæéøéí åäôøéù àáéå îòåú ñúåîéï ìðæéøåúå åîú æäå ùäåà îâìç òì ðæéøåú àáéå:

(e)

Answer: Who is Megale'ach on his father's Nezirus? He and his father were Nezirim, and his father designated Ma'os Stumim for his Nezirus, and he died. This is the one who is Megale'ach on his father's Nezirus.

(f)

(Gemara) Question: "Ish" teaches only [that Tzara'as of the front or back of the head applies to] a man. What is the source for a woman?

úìîåã ìåîø (öøåò) [ö"ì åäöøåò - ÷øáï äòãä] áéï àéù áéï àùä áéï ÷èï

(g)

Answer: "Veha'Tzaru'a" - whether a man, woman or minor.

àí ëï ìîä ðàîø àéù

(h)

Question: If so (we include women and minors), why does it say "Ish"?

ìòðéï ùìîèï äàéù ôåøò åôåøí àéï äàùä ôåøòú åôåøîú

(i)

Answer: It is for what it says below - a man (Metzora) grows his hair long and tears his clothes, but a woman does not grow her hair long or tear her clothes.

äàéù îãéø åäàéù îâìç

(j)

A man can impose Nezirus [on his son], and a man can be Megale'ach [with Nezirus Aviv].

(k)

(R. Yochanan citing R. Meir): There are 24 matters that are leniencies of Beis Shamai and stringencies of Beis Hillel. This is one of them - Beis Shamai say, a man cannot impose Nezirus on his son, and Beis Hillel say, a man can impose Nezirus on his son.

(l)

(Beraisa): One may impose Nezirus [on his son] from the womb. Some say, [a father's Nezirus lasts] until he brings two hairs [of maturity]. And some say, until Onas ha'Nedarim (12 years and a day. We explained this like SEFER NIR.)

äëì îåãéï ùàí éáà ìòåðú ðãøéí ùàéðå îæéøå

(m)

All agree that if he reached Onas ha'Nedarim, one cannot impose Nezirus on him.

âéìç àå ùâéìçåäå ÷øåáéí îéçä àå ùîéçåäå ÷øåáéí áëì ìùåðåú ëîé ùîéçä

(n)

If he son shaved, or relatives shaved him, or he protested, or relatives protested - in any expression [of protest], it is as if he protested.

éùá ìå ìôðé äñôø ëîé ùìà îéçä

(o)

If he sat in front of a barber, it is as if he did not protest.

÷øåá îäå ùéîçä

(p)

Question: Can a relative protest? (Our Mishnah said 'relatives' - must it be at least two? Alternatively, can a relative protest if the son wants to fulfill Nezirus? - KEREN ORAH 28b.)

îäå ùúçåì òìéå ðæéøåúå åðæéøåú àáéå ëàçú

(q)

Question: Can [the son's own] Nezirus and the father's Nezirus take effect on him at once? (I.e. if the son accepts to continue after his father's Nezirus lapses, is this all considered one Nezirus?)

(r)

Answer: A case occurred in which R. Chaninah ben Chaninah's father imposed Nezirus on him. R. Shimon ben Gamliel was checking whether or not he already brought two hairs;

àîø ìå îôðé îä àúä áåã÷éðé àí ðæéøåú àáà òìé äøéðé ðæéø åàí ìàå äøéðé ðæéø îëáø

1.

Chaninah: Why do you check me? If my father's Nezirus is upon me, I am a Nazir. If not, I am already a Nazir [from my acceptance to continue after my father's Nezirus lapses! It makes no difference whether or not I matured! We explained this like OHR YAKOV.]

2.

R. Gamliel stood up and kissed him on the head, and said 'I am sure that you will not leave old age before you give rulings in Yisrael!

R. Eliezer bar Tzadok: I saw him sit and expound in Yavneh.
