Nedarim 5

NEDARIM 2,3,4,5 - dedicated by Uri Wolfson and Naftali Wilk in honor of Rav Mordechai Rabin of Har Nof, a true beacon of Torah and Chesed.

1) SHMUEL ON YADOS OF NEDARIM (Cont.)

(a) Shmuel is the same as R. Yosi b. R. Chanina's ruling that if he only said "I am Mudar from you," they are mutually prohibited.
1. Question: A Mishnah states that if someone says "I am Cherem to you," the prohibition is only one way (even without the qualifying phrase)!?
2. Answer: It refers to a case where he specified that the other is not prohibited from him.
3. Question: It states that if someone says "You are Cherem on me," the prohibition is only one way (even without the qualifying phrase)!?
4. Answer: It refers to a case where he specified that he himself is not prohibited from the other.
5. Question: This indicates that without any specifications, they are mutually prohibited, but the latter part of the Mishnah states that only if he said that they are both prohibited is that the case!?
6. Answer: Emend R. Yosi b. R. Chanina's ruling to read if he said "I am Mudar to you" then they are mutually prohibited, but if he said "I am Mudar from you," then only he is prohibited.
7. Question: But the Mishnah used the phrase "from you" and yet Shmuel said that if he didn't qualify it with the latter phrases, they are mutually prohibited!?
(b) New answer: Shmuel meant that if he qualified it with the latter phrases then he is only prohibited from eating his food, otherwise he is prohibited from deriving any benefit.
1. Question: If so, let Shmuel say that the qualifying phrases are a leniency, not imply that they are required for a stringency!?
2. Answer: Shmuel means that only if he qualified it with the latter phrases is there any prohibition. Otherwise, these terms might not imply any formal prohibition.

(c) Question: Does this mean that Shmuel holds that inconclusive Yados are ineffective?
(d) Answer: Yes, he establishes the Mishnah as following R. Yehudah of the following Mishnah:
1. (Rabbanan) A Get need only say that she is permitted.
2. (R. Yehudah) It must also be written that this is the divorce document.
(e) Question: Why does Shmuel establish the Mishnah according to the minority opinion?
(f) Answer: Shmuel deduced from the Mishnah that inconclusive Yados are ineffective, as he can't just say "on my eating" but must add "of yours."
2) THE BERAISA OF INCONCLUSIVE YADAYIM
(a) Abayey: Inconclusive Yadayim are effective as Yadayim.
(b) Rava: They are not effective.
1. Reason: The Torah compares Yados of Nezirus to Nezirus such that they must also be clear.
(c) Suggestion: Let us relate this dispute to that of the Rabbanan and R. Yehudah:
1. (Rabbanan) A Get need only say that she is permitted.
2. (R. Yehudah) It must also be written that this is the divorce document.
3. Abayey follows the Rabbanan, and Rava follows R. Yehudah!
(d) Rejection: Abayey can even hold like R. Yehudah; Get requires a formal severance.
(e) Rava can even hold like the Rabbanan; Get is less inconclusive, as one can't divorce another's wife.
