Description

<p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>החקירה:</p><p>האם איסורי נזיר מוגדרים כדין השוה בכל — דומיא דנדרים המחייבים כל אדם לשמור את מוצא שפתיו —</p><p>או</p><p>שהם דינים הנובעים מ“שם תואר” של נזיר, ואינם שייכים אלא למי שחלה עליו קדושת נזירות?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>---</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Core Question</p><p><br /></p><p>The sugya depends on defining the very nature of Nazirus:</p><p><br /></p><p>&gt; Is Nazirus fundamentally like a neder (a universal halachic mechanism)?</p><p>Or is it a unique halachic status — a “shem toar” — that the Torah applies only to someone who assumes the role of a Nazir?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This distinction determines whether Nazir prohibitions are considered “equal to all” (שוה בכל) or “not equal to all” (אינו שוה בכל).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>---</p><p><br /></p><p>Side A – Nazirus is like a Neder (Issur Cheftza or Issur Gavra)</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the Mahar"i Ben Lev and Mahar"i Basan:</p><p><br /></p><p>When a person accepts Nazirus, he is creating an issur, either:</p><p><br /></p><p>On the object (wine becomes forbidden), or</p><p><br /></p><p>On the person (the person becomes prohibited from cutting hair or drinking wine).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Result:</p><p><br /></p><p>The mechanism is the same mechanism as nedarim, which applies to everyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore, even those who never became Nazirīm are bound by the same underlying halachic system:</p><p>→ Nazir prohibitions count as “שוה בכל.”</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>---</p><p><br /></p><p>Side B – Nazirus is a Halachic Status (“Shem Teva”)</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the Mahariṭ:</p><p><br /></p><p>Nazirus is not an issur-object and not an issur-person in the neder sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a new kedusha-status placed on a person:</p><p>→ The Torah gives special prohibitions only to one who possesses this status.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Result:</p><p><br /></p><p>These laws apply only to people with that status.</p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore:</p><p>→ Nazir prohibitions are “אינו שוה בכל.”</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>--</p>
