Nazir 66 - Siyum Masechet Nazir

For the text of the Hadran ceremony, click here. For more information about What is a Siyum, click here. Siyum Nazir is sponsored by Semé Dewees-Cooper "Special thanks to Rabbanit Michelle and all the Hadran staff who make our daily learning and this Siyum possible. Also mazel tov to each person who is completing this masechet!" Siyum Nazir is sponsored by Randi (Sharona) Shuster in honor of her husband who believed in her and encouraged her to learn Gemara and in memory of her husband's principal at Maimonides, Rabbi Moses Cohen. "I would also like to thank Rabbanit Michelle for her help and guidance through learning all the masechtot I have learned. This is number 4!" I would like to personally dedicate this Siyum to three dedicated Hadran learners who passed away during the course of our learning of Masechet Nazir: Carol Robinson, Miriam Kersner and Faye Darack. You will all be missed by the Hadran community.  The Gemara finishes explaining the way detailed in the previous Mishna in which we are more strict with a zav who already saw two zav discharges, than with one who only saw one. Was Shmuel a nazir? When his mother Chana promised that "mora will not go on his head," did she mean that he would be a nazir or did she mean that the fear of humans would not be upon him? Which is greater: the one who makes a blessing or the one who answers amen to a blessing? There is a tannaitic debate on this topic. Torah scholars bring peace to the world as is learned from a verse from Isaiah 54:13.
