#5664 Wow to the Wows!

Question

See question above.

Can one do Hatarat Nedarim (absolution of wows and promises to avoid keeping the tradition? How about for other difficult traditions?

Answer

Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a often indicated that Hataras Nedarim is not usually used on minhagim and traditions one should keep, since they are not created or established by a neder or promise.
