BEIS DIN

1) Qualifications -

Who may sit on a Beis Din to annul vows?

2) In Absentia -

Must the one who vowed be present before Beis Din, for them to annul his vows? May a wife make her husband an agent to appear and annul her vows on her behalf? Can a request be submitted in writing to the Beis Din?

ANNULLING PAST VOWS

3) Without stipulation -

How does our set text of Hataras Nedarim bypass the requirement to stipulate the vow that one wishes to annul? For what vows may this be relied upon?

STIPULATION FOR FUTURE VOWS

4) "If I forget" -

Is a stipulation that future vows should be voided, effective only if he forgets at the time of the vow? Can this stipulation be relied upon in practice?

5) Beis Din? -

Must this stipulation about future Nedarim, also be made in front of a Beis Din of three?

6) Yearly Renewal? -

Why does this stipulation about future vows need to be repeated every year?

7) Limitations -

Can such a stipulation be made regarding a Shevu'ah, or only a Neder? What if the Neder will involve other people?

AND ROSH HASHANAH

8) Reason -

Why does the Gemara (Nedarim 23b) specify Rosh Hashanah as the time for such a stipulation (voiding future Nedarim)? What does this teach us about the spiritual level we reach on Rosh Hashanah?
