The Rebbe answers two classic questions: the Nazir is called a sinner despite his restraint, as explained in Tosafot (Ta'anit 11a); and “empty” Jews being full of mitzvot refers to their status relative to others, not in absolute terms. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/010/5503
Shiur given by Rabbi Yisroel Saperstein. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.
Parshas Naso: Back from Beyond Our Parsha begins with the transport duties of the Leviim, followed by the laws of the Sotah and the Nazir. But suddenly, the Torah circles back to a topic we've already seen: the Metzora, the person cast out of all three camps due to spiritual impurity. Why revisit this now? Coming off Shavuos, we carry that message with us: the Torah belongs to each of us, wherever we stand, and the journey back always begins with one step forward. In honor of Eretz Yisroel. May G-d protect our brave soldiers. May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately. Dedicated in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. For the Refuah Shlema of Pennina Bas Shoshanna Miriam and all those in need of healing. Listen now at ParshaPerspective.com
The paradox of the Nazarite vow presents one of Judaism's most fascinating spiritual riddles - why would someone who successfully fulfills a voluntary commitment to holiness need to bring a sin offering?Through a masterful analysis of Nachmanides' commentary, we unpack this contradiction to reveal a profound truth about human potential: once we demonstrate what we're capable of, we establish a new standard against which our future actions will be measured. The Nazarite's "sin" isn't failing their commitment but rather returning to ordinary life after proving they could achieve something greater. This insight fundamentally reshapes how we understand spiritual growth and personal development.Yet there's remarkable comfort within this challenging perspective. Even after the Nazarite period ends, the Torah continues referring to the person as "a Nazir" - suggesting that achievements, once attained, become part of our permanent identity. Like what we might call a "one-hit wonder" in contemporary culture, the experience of reaching a peak, however briefly, changes us forever and cannot be taken away.This teaching invites us to reconsider our approach to personal growth. Every time we exercise discipline, overcome a challenge, or reach a new height in any area of life, we simultaneously earn an indelible achievement and create a new responsibility. The person who manages to learn with focus for three days, who prays with perfect concentration once, or who masters a difficult concept has genuinely acquired something permanent that becomes woven into their identity.Are you ready to pursue your own version of the Nazarite journey? Consider what peaks you might reach, even temporarily, knowing that the experience will forever change how you understand your own potential. The burden of greatness comes paired with the beauty of permanent achievement - a paradox worth embracing in our spiritual lives.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

Parashat Naso [Numbers 4:21-7:89] contains, among other things, the longest chapter in the Torah, Numbers 7 which describes in detail the gifts of each of the tribal chieftains to the Tabernacle. Each chieftain gives the exact same gift, which is faithfully recorded, accounting for the length of the chapter. There are other things of note, including the rite of the suspected adulteress [sotah], and the Nazir, the one who takes upon himself additional restrictions for a prescribed period of time. Our entire conversation focused on the six verses [Numbers 6:22-27] which include the priestly blessing. We hope you enjoy it! Over 600 days after October 7, 2023, we continue to keep in mind the hostages remaining in Gaza, both the living and the dead, and pray that they be returned speedily to their families. We also keep in mind those soldiers defending Israel as part of the Israel Defense Forces, may they be removed from harm's way. Shabbat Shalom.
Naso 5785ע׳ מנחת חינוך מצוה שס״ח מה שפלפל בנזיר מצורע ע״פ הא דאמרו האחרונים דאין עשה דוחה לא ל״ת אם בא לידי שניהם בפשיעה, וז״ל ובנזיר מצורע שהתגלחת דוחה לא הוי פשיעה בשעת קבלת נזירות דאז לא הי' מצורע. אך לפ"ז אם המצורע לאחר שנתרפא ועומד לגלח קיבל עליו נזירות א"כ בא הל"ת ע"י פשיעה א"כ אפשר דאסור לגלח דאין הל"ת נדחה כי הל"ת הוא תמיד אף שאינ' עולים כידוע. א"כ יצא דין חדש דבכה"ג אינו מגלח א"כ אינו יוכל לטהר מצרעתו לעולם כי תגלחת מצורע מעכב עיין בפי"א מהלכות ט"צ בר"מ. ואפשר אם נצטרע אף דהוא עדיין בימי הסגר וקיבל עליו נזירות הוה ליה פשיעה כיון דעומד לכך דאפשר יהיה מוחלט ושיצטרך תגלחת ולמה מקבל עליו נזירות ולא משכחת לה דידחה העשה דתגלחת רק בנזיר שנצטרע אח"כ כמו שמבואר הלשון בר"מ נזיר שנצטרע וכו' וע' בשער המלך בהלכות נדרים מה שמפלפל בענין זה דעל ידי פשיעה ובאתי רק לעורר, ע״כ. ולכאורה פתרון נזיר זה, לישאל על נזרו.

Sefer Bamidbar | Naso | Religious Individualism and the Machaneh, by Rav Ezra Bick Why are the Sota and the Nazir in the middle of parashat Naso?
5 explanations to resolve the apparent contradictory "holy sinner"
In this episode, we explore the figure of the Nazir in Parashat Naso and the Torah's nuanced approach to spirituality and physicality. We discuss the balance between restraint and engagement, showing how Judaism promotes sanctity not through withdrawal from the world, but through full, mindful participation in it.
The Nazir Lives Al Pi Sechel (Naso 5785)
The extreme abstinence of the Nazir
The Nazir is someone who accepts a vow, typically for 30 days, to abstain from wine, to not cut their hair, and to not come into contact with the dead. This Nazir is holy. They are close to God. They are like a high priest. They are likely to reach prophecy. But there are some […]
The Nazir is someone who accepts a vow, typically for 30 days, to abstain from wine, to not cut their hair, and to not come into contact with the dead. This Nazir is holy. They are close to God. They are like a high priest. They are likely to reach prophecy. But there are some very unusual and surprising elements of the Nazir: the stated objective of the Nazir is to address the potential danger inherent in wine, yet when the period of the Nazir ends, the verse tells us that they resumed drinking wine. Why is the Nazir a temporary designation? In this very interesting podcast we suggest a comprehensive understanding of the subject of the Nazir and how it is designed to change the person.

« Promise, seule dans l'ombre »Dans un petit appartement situé sur East 231st Street, dans le quartier de Wakefield, au Bronx, un drame indicible se jouait derrière une porte restée close bien trop longtemps.Lisa Cotton, 38 ans, était une mère connue du voisinage. Discrète, parfois instable, elle vivait avec ses deux enfants : Nazir, un garçon de 8 ans né prématurément et dépendant d'une sonde alimentaire, et Promise, une petite fille vive de 4 ans. Promise était souvent vue seule avec sa mère, Nazir beaucoup moins. Peut-être parce qu'il était fragile. Peut-être parce qu'elle essayait de le protéger à sa manière.Mais les jours ont passé. Puis les semaines. Et la porte ne s'est plus ouverte.Source : https://nypost.com/2025/04/19/us-news/nyc-mom-son-found-dead-inside-squalid-bronx-apartment-cops/Pour m'envoyer vos histoires danslenoirpdcst@gmail.comPour participer à cette émission horrifique, écrivez à Dans Le Noir sur les réseaux sociaux, j'accepte tout le monde !Mon Instagram HorrifiquePATREONLE seul podcast qui fait peur !Armez-vous de votre casque ou de vos écouteurs !Podcast Horreur, Podcast Surnaturel, Podcast Paranormal & Podcast Creepypasta mais surtout un podcast qui fait peur !Bonne semaine horrifique à tous !
