Today’s Talmud pages, Nedarim 3 and 4, dive right into the question of a special category of vow: The Nazirite Vow. Rabbi Dr. Stuart Halpern joins us to explain what this unique vow is, why the rabbis opposed it, and why one Nazir in particular became the Bible's great action hero and inspired everyone from Thomas Jefferson and Frederick Douglass. Who is that powerful man of mystery, and why are we still obsessed with him despite his weird vows? Listen and find out.
