Why Is It Relevant To a Nazir Olam that Princes Take a Haircut Every Erev Shabbos

Okay, good morning everyone. Brooke and Owen. We're going to uh >> Recording in progress. >> We're going to try this morning to uh cover a bunch of topics on Nazir DAF Hey, the stuff that Nazir DAF Hey. The Gamara is talking about Avshalom who was a Nazir Olam. The Balaturam said in this week's parsha Soyrer Ben Soyrer Myroser is Gamacha Zoo Avshalom Ben David. And according to uh sources the Gamara's kasha was what source is there that a Nazir Olam is could be make all uh his hair could lighten his hair. The Gamara asked for Nazir Olam he could save where does it say Nazir Olam could cut his hair. Rebbi says Avshalom was a Nazir Olam. And the pasuk says Vayhi Miketz Arbam Shana Vayera Avshalom El Elkanav Avshalom Es Nedari Asher Nadarti Lashem the Chevrei. Fine. Now there are various opinions how often would Avshalom cut his hair. It says Vayhi Miketz Yamim Leyamim and we learn out Yamim uh Yamim Leyamim from Batei Arei Choma that it's every 12 months. Rav Nachman says every 30 days. Rav Yosi says Yemegaleach Erev Shabbos to Erev Shabbos. Shekein Motzinu Bnei Malachim Shemegalchim Erev Shabbos to Erev Shabbos. We find the sons of kings would shave from Erev Shabbos to Erev Shabbos. Fine. So let's start off with the kasha of Rabbeinu Peretz, okay? Rabbeinu Peretz asks Let me put it up on the screen. Rabbeinu Peretz wants to know good for the Bnei Malachim that they would shave Erev Shabbos to Erev Shabbos. The only thing is the Bnei Melachim were not Nazirim. Well, what do Bnei Melachim have to do with the price of tea in China? By the way, if you're going to buy tea, it's not necessarily to buy it from China. You could buy, you know, Israeli brand tea. But if you're going to buy it in China, then you don't even know need to know what the price is. That's why why do you need What is What does the fact that Bnei Melachim take a haircut every Friday got to do with the price of tea in China? Tosafos Bnei Peretz says like this, "Nearly It's not a limud we're learning out from Bnei Melachim. Why should you learn out from Bnei Melachim?" Um I don't know what happened to page two. Let's see. The the Tosafos Bnei Peretz says, "Even Shaya ben Melech If it's because Avshalom was a ben melech, how are Bnei Melachim not Nazirim?" Bnei Melachim are not Nazirim. What exactly is the significance that Bnei Melachim take a haircut every Friday? Who cares? You can say, "Well, Avshalom was a ben melech." Great, but Bnei Melachim are not Nazirim. What does Bnei Melachim taking haircut every Friday have to do with Avshalom? Which Rabbeinu Peretz wants to answer "Ela Rotzeh Lomar Chazinan bikra di yesh giluch bikoved." We find that there's a concept that you could shave your hair when it gets heavy. We see by Avshalom, he shaved his hair when it got heavy. Well, Bnei Melachim darko lius bisaron koved me'erev Shabbos to erev Shabbos We learn out from Bnei Melachim that for them the heaviness uh comes every as evident by the fact that they take a haircut every Friday. In other words, according to Abenu Peretz, all all we're learning out from the Bene Malachim is what constitutes Koved. But not that the Bene Malachim has anything to do with the Nazir. That's Abenu Peretz. The Mesifta brings from a Perush called Zevach Todah. He wants to say Kol Yisrael Bene Malachim. Uh, he quotes his Amudha Massei that Rebbe Yosi holds he should take a haircut every Friday because, uh, in the Bene Tiveria and the Bene Tzipori are Megaleach for Erev Shabbos Erev Shabbos. I don't see why that's relevant to anything. We want to know when should a Nazir take a haircut. So, Kol Yisrael Bene Malachim, okay, what does it have to do with Avshalom? We're not We're not asking here when should a Jew take a haircut. We want to know when is it considered uh, appropriate for a Nazir to lighten his hair. So, what does it have to do with the fact that Kol Bene Yisrael Kol Yisrael Bene Malachim? Abenu Peretz wants to say we learn out what's considered Koved. Anyway, um, I want to offer an original Perush in this and I think it's very good. The Ibn Ezra says in the Parsha of Nazir on the Pasuk Ki Nezer Elohav Al Rosho. The crown of Hashem is on his head. The The Ibn Ezra famously writes that most people in this world are Avodam. Why? They're slave to their desires. The Nazir who's able to discipline himself and stay away from wine has the crown is a true Melech. So, I want to say the opposite of Abenu Peretz. Again, I uh, afar takhas raglav is one of the Rishonim. I'm just saying offering another, uh, possible way of learning the Gemara. It's not that the Benei Melachim asked the Benei Melachim are not Nazirim. Okay, so that that's not what the Gemara means. It's the Nazir is a Melech. It's not that the Benei Melachim are Nazirim. It's the the Nazir is a Melech. How do you know? From the Pasuk. The Pasuk calls the Nazir a Melech. We are Ki Nazir Elohim Rosho. That the Ben Ezra interprets Ki Nazir Elohim Rosho is the true Melech. The Nazir is a true Melech. So therefore the Gemara says, Benei Melachim, in other words, now we want to know, since the Nazir is a Melech, the appropriate time then for him to take a haircut is every Friday. That's when That's when kings usually take a haircut. Okay, that's one subject. Then I'm going to close at that because it doesn't have anything to do with anything else we're going to do now. That's the first subject. In other words, the line of the Gemara in Rabbi Yosi um Shechem Benei Melachim Megalchim me of Shabbos or of Shabbos. Okay, that's number one here. >> Recording stopped.
