Podcasts about Nazir

Parshas Naso: Holiness in the Ordinary Why does the Nazir, a person the Torah calls “holy unto G-d,” bring a sin offering at the end of their vow? In this episode, we explore the fascinating contrast between the Sotah and the Nazir, and uncover a profound lesson from the Ramban and the Lubavitcher Rebbe. While holiness often feels strongest in moments of inspiration and separation, Judaism asks something even greater: bringing that holiness back into everyday life. Coming on the heels of Shavuos, this episode reveals that true spiritual growth is not measured on the mountain, but in how we live once we come down from it. ✨ The goal is not to escape the world, but to elevate it.

The Holy PatientWhy does the Rambam compare the Nazir to the Kohen Gadol?This week's episode explores a striking paradox: the Nazir is both a patient in need of treatment and a model of holiness. What can this teach us about struggle, self-discipline, and spiritual growth?Sources:Num. 6, Guide 3:48, Eight Chapters sec. 4Pictured: Gabriël Metsu, Visit of the Physician

Modern society swings endlessly between indulgence and denial. One day we binge, the next we detox. But in Parshat Nasso, the Torah's mysterious Nazir presents a far more nuanced vision of spirituality. While Judaism values discipline and restraint, it remains deeply suspicious of extremism, performative piety, and the fantasy that holiness can be achieved by escaping ordinary life.

Hi,The Torah puts the parshiyos of Nazir and Sotah next to each other to teach that one who sees the Sotah process should take on Nezirus from wine. Why does seeing the Sotah make one have more of a need than anyone else to become a Nazir? Some ideas in both the influences and inspirations we can take from our surroundings.Have a good Shabbos

Rabbi Shulman explains the well-known Chazal on the juxtaposition of *Sotah* and *Nazir*: seeing a *sotah* “in her disgrace” should motivate a person to abstain from wine. Beyond the simple concern of avoiding moral desensitization, he highlights a deeper link—both *sotah* and *nazir* are defined by hair: her hair is undone as shame, while his hair becomes *נזר אלוקיו* (a holy “crown”). The broader מוסר: when a person “sees” spiritual failure that truly registers, it is not enough to avoid the wrongdoing; one must actively elevate and sanctify that very area as a תיקון.

This evening we trace two approaches to living a moral and holy life, so that a person who chooses to become a Nazir - prohibiting for themself otherwise permitted pleasures - is both praised and criticized. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks helps us understand how both can be true, and which is best for us. Rabbi Moshe Alshech helps us understand the convoluted wording concerning Birchat Kohanin, the Priestly blessing - who is giving the blessing: the Kohein or God? The answer is the key to parenting and other forms of leadership.

The longest Parsha in the Torah (Nasso) contains a seemingly unconnected string of subjects. It begins by detailing the responsibilities of adult working-age Levites from three Levite families, followed by a census of those Levites. In the middle of the Parsha contains the laws of the sotah (the suspected adulteress) and the Nazir (a person who accepts upon himself a vow to refrain from wine, coming into contact with the dead, and haircuts for a period of time, typically 30 days), and the priestly blessing (the special blessing formula that priests are commanded to bless Israel with). The Parsha ends with the special gifts and tributes given by the princes of the 12 tribes of Israel on the day of the inauguration of the Tabernacle and on the eleven subsequent days. At first glance, it seems very hard to find a common thread connecting these disparate subjects. In this very interesting and fun Parsha podcast, we share a powerful and counterintuitive theme that is strung throughout the Parsha. The takeaways for us are profound.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn discusses the real reason G-D put you in charge. Was it to help yourself or perhaps something more meaningful. He learns from the kohanim how the things which elevate us above other is only meant to help us help others. He also speaks about how the Nazaite teaches us the importance of going against our nature. Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast. For questions or comments please email RabbiShlomoKohn@gmail.com.

התוכן שיעור היומי ברמב"ם הוא הל' נזירות, שענינו הוא כמו ענין ה"נדרים" (שמו של אאמו"ר ז"ל "לוי יצחק" בגימ' "נדר"). בענין הנדרים בא לידי ביטוי כחו של יהודי לקחת דבר חולין ולפעול בו קדושה ע"י דיבורו בלבד. ועד"ז ענין ה"נזירות": כאשר יהודי לוקח ע"ע התחייבות מסויימת לכבודו של הקב"ה, אפי' בדבר קל ופשוט, ולדוגמא שלא יגלח שערותיו במשך ל' יום – ניתוספה אצלו קדושה יתירה ["קדוש יהי'"], וגורם עי"ז נח"ר ותענוג מיוחד להקב"ה. ובמילא זהו גם טובתו של האדם – שהרי זהו זכות הכי גדול לגרום נח"ר להקב"ה, וגם מכיון שבשכר זה נותן לו הקב"ה שפע ברכות.משיחת כ"ג מנחם-אב ה'תשד"מ, לחברי כולל "תפארת זקנים" ו"חכמות נשים" ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=26-05-2026 Synopsis Today's Rambam is in the Laws of Nezirus, which is a form of vow (neder – which has the same Gematria as Levi Yitzchok, the name of the Rebbe's father). A neder demonstrates a Jew's power to take something ordinary and mundane and sanctify even through his speech alone. Similarly regarding nezirus: When a Jew undertakes a certain commitment in honor of Hashem, even if it something easy and simple (for example refraining from cutting his hair for thirty days like a Nazir), he becomes holier and brings particular satisfaction and pleasure to Hashem. It follows that this also benefits the person himself, because to cause Hashem pleasure is the greatest merit, and because Hasheem rewards him for it.Excerpt from sichah of 23 Menachem-Av 5744, to members Kollel Tiferes Zekeinim and Beis Chochmas Nashim For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=26-05-2026 לזכותהחתן הרה"ת שמחה בנימין הלוי והכלה מרת חיה מושקא שיחיו פישלרגל נישואיהם בשעה טובה ומוצלחתביום ד' סיון ה'תשפ"ו

Sotah, Nazir, and the Role of Miqdash by Rabbi Joshua Maroof

Lessons derived from the fact that the Torah arranges the sections of Nazir and Sotah next to each other.

Subscribe to the newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/RJDSpotify.Parashat Naso explores how the Torah treats seemingly private behavior as a national concern, seen in laws like Nazir and Sotah that culminate publicly in the Mikdash, the nation's “capital.” The discussion challenges John Stuart Mill's claim that people should do whatever they want as long as they don't harm others, arguing that private actions shape character, trust, and the social fabric...Rabbi Dweck has held rabbinic leadership roles in the US and the UK. He is the Rosh Bet Midrash of TheHabura.com and the Rabbi Levy Chair of Jewish Wisdom at the London School of Jewish Studies.For more, check out rabbijosephdweck.com.Instagram: https://instagram.com/rabbidweckTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rabbidweckYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RabbiJosephDweck

The Rebbe examines why Shimshon (Samson) is praised as a strong individual yet opposed by certain Torah sources. Delving into Nazir-related laws and Samson's unique role, the discussion addresses the interplay between physical power and moral responsibility in Jewish teachings. https://www.torahrecordings.com/likutei-sichos/018/004_003

The Rebbe addresses two apparent contradictions in Chazal: the status of a Nazir as both praiseworthy and a sinner, and the meaning of 'empty ones among you are full of mitzvos.' He clarifies these issues with references to Tosefos and context. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/010/5503

Chapter 13! With the new mishnah, and a focus on oaths regarding grain-offerings. What happens when one takes an oath, but isn't sure what amount he'd specified in his oath. That is, how to cover the oath by a "maximum" of the grain-offering (or all of them, as the case may be). Also, who taught that one might need to bring all of them? The Gemara approaches this question by a process of elimination, almost, establishing first who did not subscribe to this view, before concluding whose view it was. With parallels drawn from the Nazir and the person recovering from tzara'at. Is Rabbi Shimon's view dependent on his allowing sacrifices to be brought conditionally?

Right after his keynote at the Applied Ergonomics Conference, we had a chance to sit down with Cassini Nazir, an interaction designer and professor at the University of North Texas. In his talk, Cassini encouraged ergonomics professionals to think more intentionally about curiosity and how asking better questions and designing with empathy can improve the systems and experiences people rely on every day.And as it happened, his friend Mike Courtney was there too. Mike is a futurist who actually delivered the keynote at last year's conference, so we talked with him about something many professionals are dealing with right now - the rapid pace of technological change and how to make decisions when things are evolving so quickly.Two quick conversations, both recorded at the Applied Ergonomics Conference, about curiosity, design, and navigating a changing world.This bonus episode was recorded live at the Applied Ergonomics Conference as part of Problem Solved LIVE.Every great solution is a story worth telling.Applied Ergonomics Conference sponsored by Applied Ergonomics SocietyLearn more about The Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE)Problem Solved on LinkedInProblem Solved on YouTubeProblem Solved on InstagramProblem Solved on TikTokProblem Solved Executive Producer: Elizabeth GrimesInterested in contributing to the podcast or sponsoring an episode?

What was clear to Raba on one hand and Rava on the other - regarding how to understand Rabbi Shimon's words and whether a noticeably incorrect intent (machshava nikeret) disqualifies or not - was not clear to Rav Hoshaya, who deliberated on how to interpret Rabbi Shimon's position. The Gemara explains why he did not accept the opinions of Raba, Rava, or Rav Ashi as a sufficient explanation for his doubt. The Mishna mentions two exceptions to the rule of a meal offering (mincha) that was perfomed for the wrong purpose (where the offering is valid but the owner has not fulfilled their obligation): the sinner's meal offering (minchat choteh) and the jealousy offering  of a Sotah (minchat kenaot) are completely disqualified if perfomed for the wrong purpose (shelo lishmah). What is the source for this? The Gemara initially presents a derivation for each of them from the sin offering (chatat), but after rejecting these derivations due to a difficulty regarding the guilt offering (asham), it brings a different exposition based on a gezeirah shava (verbal analogy) to both of these meal offerings. Rav adds the Omer meal offering to this list, stating that if it was performed for the wrong purpose, it is disqualified because it is intended to permit the consumption of the "new grain" (chadash), and if brought for the wrong purpose, it fails to permit it and is useless. He says the same regarding the nazirite's guilt offering (asham nazir) and the leper's guilt offering (asham metzora). If so, why are this meal offering and these sacrifices not mentioned in the Mishnayot in Menachot and Zevachim that list those disqualified if they were brought for the wrong purpose? The Gemara answers this question and settles the difficulty. The Gemara further challenges Rav: if the asham nazir and asham metzora are meant to "enable" (le'hachshir) a status change and fail to do so when brought for the wrong purpose, then the guilt offering for misappropriation (asham me'ilot) and the guilt offering for theft (asham gezeilot) - which are meant to "atone" (le'chaper) - likewise fail to atone; why then are they valid if brought for the wrong purpose? Rabbi Yirmiya makes a distinction between offerings that "enable" status (machshirim) and those that "atone" (mechaperim). He brings proof from the laws of sacrifices brought after the death of the owner, specifically citing a Mishna regarding a woman after childbirth (yoledet). Rabbi Yehuda, son of Rabbi Shimon ben Pazi, challenges this distinction (regarding the laws after death) from a Mishna in Nazir, where an enabling sacrifice is indeed brought after death.

החקירה:האם איסורי נזיר מוגדרים כדין השוה בכל — דומיא דנדרים המחייבים כל אדם לשמור את מוצא שפתיו —אושהם דינים הנובעים מ“שם תואר” של נזיר, ואינם שייכים אלא למי שחלה עליו קדושת נזירות?---The Core QuestionThe sugya depends on defining the very nature of Nazirus:> Is Nazirus fundamentally like a neder (a universal halachic mechanism)?Or is it a unique halachic status — a “shem toar” — that the Torah applies only to someone who assumes the role of a Nazir?This distinction determines whether Nazir prohibitions are considered “equal to all” (שוה בכל) or “not equal to all” (אינו שוה בכל).---Side A – Nazirus is like a Neder (Issur Cheftza or Issur Gavra)According to the Mahar"i Ben Lev and Mahar"i Basan:When a person accepts Nazirus, he is creating an issur, either:On the object (wine becomes forbidden), orOn the person (the person becomes prohibited from cutting hair or drinking wine).Result:The mechanism is the same mechanism as nedarim, which applies to everyone.Therefore, even those who never became Nazirīm are bound by the same underlying halachic system:→ Nazir prohibitions count as “שוה בכל.”---Side B – Nazirus is a Halachic Status (“Shem Teva”)According to the Mahariṭ:Nazirus is not an issur-object and not an issur-person in the neder sense.It is a new kedusha-status placed on a person:→ The Torah gives special prohibitions only to one who possesses this status.Result:These laws apply only to people with that status.Therefore:→ Nazir prohibitions are “אינו שוה בכל.”--

Chapter two of mishnah Nazir begins! And it's about what if you make a completely nonsensical vow. And also, seemingly, how much credit do we give vow makers for their intentions, the interpretive power of the court, and all or nothing reasoning.

Before one learns Torah in the morning, he must first recite Birkot Ha'Torah. The Gemara cites different opinions as to which particular subjects within the broad corpus of Torah may not be studied before the recitation of Birkot Ha'Torah. Rav Huna maintained that only the study of Tanach requires Birkot Ha'Torah; in his view, one may study anything else before reciting Birkot Ha'Torah in the morning. Rabbi Elazar ruled that both Tanach and Midrash require Birkot Ha'Torah, because the Midrash explains the verses of the Tanach. The next opinion brought is that of Rabbi Yohanan, who held that even the study of Mishna must be preceded by Birkot Ha'Torah. However, Halacha follows the final view brought by the Gemara – that of Raba, who asserted that even Gemara requires Birkot Ha'Torah. Accordingly, the Rambam and Shulhan Aruch write that one must recite Birkot Ha'Torah before studying either Tanach or any part of Torah She'be'al Peh (the oral law). Although the Shulhan Aruch does not specify the study of Midrash, the Rama (Rav Moshe Isserles of Cracow, 1520-1572) adds that Midrash also requires the recitation of Birkot Ha'Torah. The Peri Hadash (Rav Hizkiya Da Silva, 1659-1698) writes that the Shulhan Aruch does not disagree with the Rama on this point, even though he did not specifically mention Midrash. The Aruch Ha'shulhan (Rav Yehiel Michel Epstein of Nevardok, 1829-1908) notes the possibility of restricting this requirement to areas related to Halacha. It is possible, he writes, that Birkot Ha'Torah is required only before the study of texts that form the basis of Halacha. The Sages infer Halachot from the verses, and these inferences and their applications are discussed, elucidated and debated in the Midrash, Mishna and Gemara – and it might be for this reason that these texts are specified as the material requiring Birkot Ha'Torah. If so, then one would be permitted to study non-halachic portions of the Torah – such as the stories in Midrashic texts, Aggadic portions of the Gemara, and Zohar – before reciting Birkot Ha'Torah in the morning. The Aruch Ha'shulhan remains uncertain about this matter. By contrast, the Kaf Ha'haim Sofer (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Jerusalem, 1870-1939) writes that the study of the Zohar requires Birkot Ha'Torah. He does not explain the reason for this ruling, but we may presume that he equated the study of Zohar with the study of Gemara, and, moreover, we occasionally determine practical Halacha based on teachings in the Zohar. The final Halacha is that even the study of non-halachic texts such as the Midrash and Zohar requires Birkot Ha'Torah. The study of works of Mussar also requires Birkot Ha'Torah, because these works are based upon Torah sources. Texts such as Mesilat Yesharim and Michtab Me'Eliyahu, which guide and instruct how to live a religious life, are rooted entirely in Torah, and so they certainly qualify as parts of Torah requiring the recitation of Birkot Ha'Torah. This applies to works of Hassidic teachings, as well. In principle, biographies of Sadikim, or story books that tell about the lives of great Sages, may be read before Birkot Ha'Torah, because reading these stories – despite being very valuable – does not qualify as the study of Torah. In practice, however, books about great Rabbis almost invariably contain Torah insights which they taught, and so they require Birkot Ha'Torah. One is not required to recite Birkot Ha'Torah before studying general subjects, even those subjects which have great value and are important to learn. For example, one must study math in order to properly understand certain sections of the Gemara, such as those which deal with geometry (e.g. Sukka, Erubin and Kil'ayim). There are texts which address the dimensions and layout of the Bet Ha'mikdash which similarly cannot be understood without a background in mathematics. Scientific knowledge, too, is critically important for the understanding of certain sections of the Talmud – such as the Gemara's discussion about the volume of wine which a Nazir must drink to be liable for violating his vow, which touches upon the subject of volume displacement. This issue requires an understanding of how displacement works, and how the density of wine becomes a factor. One cannot understand the portions of the Talmud that deal with the Jewish calendar without basic knowledge of astronomy. An understanding of modern technology, too, is necessary for learning how Halacha applies in our time, and indeed, Hacham Ovadia Yosef studied the mechanics of boilers in order to determine the relevant Halachot. Nevertheless, the study of these subjects does not require Birkot Ha'Torah, since they are not actual Torah, but rather background information to help in the study of Torah. The Rambam writes that subjects such as mathematics and science are the "chefs" and "maidservants" of Torah, meaning, they are necessary for the understanding of Torah, but are not part of Torah. Therefore, one is not required to recite Birkot Ha'Torah before studying general subjects. Summary: One may not learn any Torah subject before reciting Birkot Ha'Torah in the morning. This includes Tanach, Midrash, Mishna, Gemara, Halachic texts, Zohar, Mussar and Hassidut. Biographies of Sadikim, too, require Birkot Ha'Torah since they usually incorporate Torah insights by the Sages whose lives and legacy they present. Birkot Ha'Torah is not required before the study of non-Torah subjects, even those which are necessary to learn to properly understand Torah.

Podcast Eli Suli SHIMSHON EL NAZIR ELEGIDO PARA SALVAR AL PUEBLO DE ISRAEL (2 Parte) Conferencia

A great corpus of Torah law governs the relationships between men and women. The Second Order of Mishnah contains books on the initiation of marriage, on marital responsibilities, on the annulment of marriage via divorce, on the suspected adulteress, and on levirate marriages. The Order also contains two seemingly unrelated books: a book on vows and oaths and a book on the laws of a Nazir. In this podcast we explore the nature of these books, and earn some basic literacy in this massive portion of Oral Torah.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Was he "hit" by prophecy? Or by a sudden rush of strength? Did the rush extend to his mind and discombobulate him mentally and emotionally?https://thechesedfund.com/rabbikatz/support-rabbi-katzz-podcast

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 […]
