Barry Epstein asked:
If one makes consecratory vows today, the object must be destroyed. My notes say that Or HaYashar wonders why one can't go to a sage to seek release from a vow. What is the answer?

The Kollel replies:
Not every vow can be released; there are various conditions required. But if it is able to be released, then certainly he may do so and the object need not be destroyed.
