תלמוד על נדרים 6:1

Paragraph. “One who vows not to eat food is permitted water and salt.” There, we have stated⁵⁶Mishnah Nedarim 6:1.: “One who made a vow to abstain from cooked food is permitted roasted and scalded food.” ⁵⁷This paragraph and the next are also in Nedarim 6:1 (Notes 6–14) and Nazir 6:11 (Note 225), cf. Babli Nedarim 49a. A Mishnah states that scalding is called cooking, as we have stated⁵⁸Mishnah Nazir 6:11. The verse Num. 6:18 requires the sacrifice to be cooked.: “If he cooked the well-being offering or scalded it.” A verse states that “roasted” is called “cooked” as it is said⁵⁹2Chr. 35:13.: They cooked the Pesaḥ in fire. If you say, against the rules, Rebbi Jonah from Bostra said, as is the rule⁶⁰Roasted in fire,Ex. 12:9. Cooked would be on the fire, not in it.. A Mishnah [states] that scalded is called cooked, and a verse that roasted is called cooked; but did we not state: “One who makes a vow to abstain from cooked food is permitted roasted and scalded food”? Rebbi Joḥanan said, in matters of vows one follows common usage. Rebbi Joshia said, in matters of vows one follows biblical usage. What is the difference between them? If one said, a qonam⁶¹The Phoenician equivalent of Hebrew qorba̅n, “(forbidden like) sacrifice” which people were afraid to pronounce in vows. Cf. Introduction to Tractate Nedarim. that I shall not taste wine on Tabernacles. In the opinion of Rebbi Joḥanan he is forbidden on the last day of the holiday⁶²Which in popular consciousness is the last day of Sukkot but legally is a separate holiday with its own rules.. In the opinion of Rebbi Joshia, is he permitted? Also Rebbi Joshia agrees that he is prohibited. Rebbi Joshia said it only for restrictions.

There¹⁴⁰Mishnah Nedarim 6:13. “He who vows to abstain from vegetables …” The paragraph is copied in Nedarim 6:13, fol. 39d; a parallel is in the Babli (Nedarim 53a–b)., we have stated: “From vegetables”, he is permitted field vegetables because these have an additional name. We have stated on that: “He who makes a vow to abstain from vegetables in the Sabbatical is also forbidden field vegetables¹⁴¹According to the commentary to Nedarim from the school of Rashi, usually one means by “vegetables” those grown in irrigated garden beds. But in the Sabbatical year, all garden beds also are abandoned to the poor and even well-to-do persons will use field vegetables. According to R. Nissim Gerondi, garden beds will not yield anything in the Sabbatical since nothing is planted and, usually, garden beds are carefully harvested, so there will be no spontaneous growth..” Rebbi Crispus stated the reason in the name of Rebbi Ḥananiah ben Gamliel¹⁴²In the Babli (Nedarim 53b), R. Ḥananiah ben Gamliel states that one imports vegetables into the Land. This refers to the aftermath of the war of Bar Kokhba, about 60 years prior to Rebbi’s activity, and does not imply official sanctioning.: That means, as long as Rebbi did not permit to import vegetables into the Land. But since Rebbi permitted to import vegetables into the Land there is no difference between the Sabbatical and the remaining years of the Sabbatical cycle. Rebbi Yose bar Ḥanina says, endives¹⁴³One of the bitter herbs admissible for Passover; the implication here is that endives were not grown in extensive agriculture but considered as a weed. Hence, in regular years they are not food and cannot become impure. are important enough to become impure as food in the Seventh year. That means, as long as Rebbi did not permit. But since he permitted, there is no difference between the Sabbatical and the remaining years of the Sabbatical cycle¹⁴⁴Since garden vegetables are available year round during the Sabbatical..
