- Q. Does Hatarath Nedarim work for new traditions and customs (Minhagim ) also?
A. See questions above. On question 880 we added:
“Minchas Shlomo (Nedarim 24a) debates if for the purpose of releasing one of the nedarim that were created by observing a mitzva or a minhag, the above declarations would actually help, since after all when those acts were done, there was no intention of them becoming a neder. See also Igrois Moishe (Y.D. 1: 127) as to what kind of minhag or adopted practice may become a neder.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is to be lenient on adopted traditions that are not a mitzva and rely on the above declarations, without needing a further hatoras nedarim. (See also questions 67, 360, and 688 in this forum)
