Naso aka Nazarite Awareness Week! :-)
Ahoy There!
As is tradition, I'll be addressing any questions or wonderings (or well thought-out insults!) you may have regarding the Nazariteship in the modern-day. Halachically, philosophically, psychologically, and so on. This is not to stroke my own ego, mind you, but to help spread awareness of the special vow in this day and age, nothing more. I can stroke my own ego just fine, thanks. 😄
Been a Samson Nazarite for 16 years and counting. Grew up Modern Orthodox in Jerusalem, went to yeshivah, served in the army, took my vow at 27. While I no longer label myself either "religious" or "orthodox" (because reasons), I do try to live up to the spirit and the word of Written and Oral Torah alike. Religioius folks might consider me "off the derech", I simply consider myself to be "on **my** derech", despite the dangers therein. 🤷
For those wondering, current modern-day Nazarites include:
Rabbi Yehuda Ohad Turgeman (Institute of the Sages of Jerusalem and the West, author of various books)
Rabbi Yehoshua Freidman (Temple Institute and Yeshivat HaKotel, author of Nazir Elohim)
Rabbi Gavriel David (author of Nazirut Yisrael)
Rabbi Uri Einhorn (author of Nazirut Bazman Ha'ze)
And there are others!
Have a great week of Naso, a blessed new moon, and a lovely Shavuot!
A Nazir walks into a bar. The bartender says: why the long hair? https://preview.redd.it/hy8wm4b8bv1h1.jpg?width=1640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d69908d7e07f68b2bdc79c900423a0d45e4a6767
