Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain
There seem to be subtly conflicting approaches to the question of whether one’s oath to violate or to uphold a Torah law takes effect or not. And what about if someone makes a נדר rather than a שבועה? Is the law the same? Lastly, what if someone makes a shevua not to be truly binding, but in order to motivate themselves to do a mitzvah? What can we learn from these different opinions about our power to create binding legislation on ourselves with our own oaths versus the Torah’s power to bind us by default?
Shevuot 27a
