Rabbi Nachum Nussbacher Explains Vow Annulment Laws Before Rosh Hashanah

Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Rabbi Nachum Nussbacher, a leading figure at the "Sha'ar HaTalmud" yeshiva, provided guidance on Jewish law concerning the annulment of vows in a segment for "Kikar HaShabbat." The "Minute from the House of Instruction" segment, based on the rulings of Rabbi Amram Fried, focused on the specific laws applicable on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

Nussbacher addressed the practical question of how vows are annulled for women, a common concern as the new year approaches. The discussion also touched upon the broader theme of how individuals can ensure a "good and sweet year" for themselves, incorporating advice attributed to the Baal Shem Tov, a revered Hasidic master.

The broadcast also featured a separate segment highlighting a meeting between a Lithuanian "leader" and Chana Gafni, with the former leader described as deserving "much strength" and being a "true emissary." Additionally, a related topic covered was the "Ner Yikaneh" ritual for the second day of Rosh Hashanah.
