Parshas Matos (5771)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
Our sedra opens with its intricate ordinances of vows immediately spelling out something very striking. (30:3)” Ish ki yidar….he shall not defile his words.” The next pasuk “V’isha “, laws concerning the woman, extends for the next 15 pasukim. 15 pasukim–amazing. Women, for whatever reason, because of their essence, feel the need of the support of the nedarim.
The lesson is that we should always be sensitive to our particular spiritual needs and harness and recruit the available auxiliaries for our support.
Have a wonderful Shabbos and see the geula b’karov.
