Single women must approach their fathers and married women\u2014their husbands. Unspoken, albeit implicit, is that men may annul their own vows, although later, Talmudic, elaboration imposed the qualification that annulment must be undertaken in the presence of either a single expert judge or three laymen (to which anyone who has witnessed or participated in the annulment ceremony traditionally observed on the eve of Rosh Hashanah can attest).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two fundamental questions have been posed about the chapter, one each by Rashi and his grandson Rashbam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rashi asked: Why are the laws of vows addressed to the tribal chieftains? Rashbam asked: Where was Moses instructed to make this presentation?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rashi\u2019s answer is that Moses first instructed the tribal chieftains out of deference to their positions and responsibilities. In fact, Rashi inferred from this particular instance that this was SOP. In other words, anytime Moses provided instruction to the Jewish people, he first shared that teaching with the chieftains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rashbam\u2019s answer is that the matter of vows and their annulment is an extension of the laws of festival offerings that are contained in the previous chapter. Indeed, the final verse of that chapter reads: \u201cThese shall be offered to God at the appointed times\u2014in addition to the offerings made by vows or in free-will\u2026\u201d (29:39). In order to insure prompt fulfillment of promised offerings, they were to be brought on one of the pilgrimage festivals, lest the lapse of time until their fulfillment lead to their abrogation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we combine these two interpretations, we can infer a significant insight: While Judaism revels in its belief in individual free will, this does not absolve the leadership of the Jewish community from its corporate responsibility to properly oversee its members and to facilitate their fulfillment of their individual obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":103701,"id":103701,"title":"-624b4b8024ec8--624b4b8024ec9gen43-pinky-promise.png","filename":"624b4b8024ec8-624b4b8024ec9gen43-pinky-promise.png.png","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/624b4b8024ec8-624b4b8024ec9gen43-pinky-promise.png.png","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/going-around-coming-around-ii\/624b4b8024ec8-624b4b8024ec9gen43-pinky-promise-png\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"624b4b8024ec8-624b4b8024ec9gen43-pinky-promise-png","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":39707,"date":"2022-04-04
