Reconciling the Ramban With the Gemara Some Post Shavuos Chizuk

Limuday Moshe | June 27, 2025

In this week’s parsha we learn all about the nazir. A nazir is a person who accepts upon himself added restrictions. He is compared in some ways to a Kohen Gadol. As a result of his added holiness, he is not allowed to drink wine, he is not allowed to cut his hair, and he is not allowed to come into contact with a dead person. After he finishes his period of nezirus he must bring a series of korbonos. Regarding the korbonos brought by a nazir at the conclusion of his status of being a nazir, the Torah says (Bamidbar 6:11): הנפש על חטא מאשר עליו וכפר לעלה ואחד לחטאת אחד
