There
was a 12 year old boy whose Rebbi was bothering him to get a haircut. One day
when this happened, the boy said I am Mekabeil on myself that I will be a Nazir
until tomorrow. You might say, he is only 12 so there is no problem. However, a
12 year old is someone who is capable to make a Neder and Nezirus. So you may
be thinking, so he won’t drink wine or take a haircut for a day, so it is not a
problem. However, it is a big problem because someone who makes themselves a
Nazir today is a Nazir until Mashiach comes. The reason is, because a Nazir
stays a Nazir until he gets his haircut and brings his Korbanos and obviously
this boy couldn’t bring his Korbanos. Another problem is, the Rambam says a
Nazir must move to Erertz Yisrael because they were Goizer Tumah on Eretz
Ha’amim. So you may be thinking, let him be Shoiel on his Neder. Not so simple.
Toisafois in Maseches Niddah 46b says that the fact that a 12 year old is
Samuch L’ish is only L’hachmir and not L’hakeil. So the Mishneh L’melech says
that if someone who is Samuch L’ish makes himself a Nazir, he can’t be Shoiel
on his Neder until he turns 13. So this boy has a really serious problem. This
Shaila is in a Kuntros written between the two World Wars. It was a Tumal in
Litta. Some Rabbanim held that he is a Nazir until he becomes 13. Others held,
either he is a Nazir and then he could be Shoiel or he is not a Nazir and he
doesn’t have to be Shoiel. Mima Nafshach, either he is a Gadol or he is not a
Gadol. There were those who held that it is an Anan Sa’adi that it was a joke
and that should be a Heter. When we learned Maseches Kiddushin we spent time on
the Inyan of Kiddushin Derech S’choik. I am not sure he meant it as a joke. I
think he meant it seriously, that he wanted to be a Nazir for a day. This is
most probably one of the more difficult Shailois, and the Mussar is to tell
your children not to Chas V’shlaom, come Lidei Kach.
