תְּנַן הָתָם: מְפִירִין נְדָרִים בְּשַׁבָּת, וְנִשְׁאָלִין לִנְדָרִים שֶׁהֵן לְצוֹרֶךְ הַשַּׁבָּת. אִיבַּעְיָא לְהוּ: מְפִירִין נְדָרִים בְּשַׁבָּת לְצוֹרֶךְ הַשַּׁבָּת, אוֹ דִלְמָא אֲפִילּוּ שֶׁלֹּא לְצוֹרֶךְ?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **We learned** in a mishna **elsewhere** (*Shabbat* 157a): A father or husband **may nullify** his daughter’s or his wife’s **vows on Shabbat and one may request** from a halakhic authority **to** dissolve **vows that are for the purpose of Shabbat. A dilemma was raised before** the Sages: May one **nullify vows on Shabbat** only **when** they are **for the purpose of Shabbat, or** may one **perhaps** nullify vows on Shabbat **even when they are not for the purpose** of Shabbat?

[Nedarim 77a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/77a:2)

תָּא שְׁמַע, דְּתָנֵי רַב זוּטֵי דְּבֵי רַב פַּפֵּי: אֵין מְפִירִין נְדָרִים אֶלָּא לְצוֹרֶךְ הַשַּׁבָּת. אָמַר רַב אָשֵׁי, הָא לָא תְּנַן הָכִי: נָדְרָה עִם חֲשֵׁיכָה — מֵפֵר לָהּ עַד שֶׁלֹּא תֶּחְשַׁךְ. וְאִי אָמְרַתְּ לְצוֹרֶךְ הַשַּׁבָּת — אִין, שֶׁלֹּא לְצוֹרֶךְ הַשַּׁבָּת — לָא, מַאי אִירְיָא חָשְׁכָה? אֲפִילּוּ בְּתוֹךְ הַיּוֹם אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְהָפֵר דְּשֶׁלֹּא לְצוֹרֶךְ!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Come** and **hear** the *baraita* **that Rav Zuti from the school of Rav Pappi taught: Vows may be nullified** on Shabbat **only for the purpose of Shabbat. Rav Ashi said: We did not learn that way** in the mishna here. The mishna teaches: If **she took a vow with nightfall** approaching, her father or husband **can nullify** the vow **for her** only **until nightfall. And if you say** that with regard to nullification of vows that **are for the purpose of Shabbat, yes,** he may nullify those vows, but nullifications **that are not for the purpose of Shabbat, no,** he may not, **why** does the *tanna* **specify nightfall?** After all, **even during the day he may not nullify that** which **is not for the purpose** of Shabbat.

[Nedarim 77a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/77a:3)

תַּנָּאֵי הִיא: הֲפָרַת נְדָרִים כׇּל הַיּוֹם, רַבִּי יוֹסֵי בְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה וְרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אָמְרוּ: מֵעֵת לְעֵת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara rejects this conclusion: Nullification on Shabbat is subject to a dispute between ***tanna’im*: Nullification of vows** can be performed **all day** on the day that the vow was heard. And **Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda, and Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Shimon, said:** A vow can be nullified **for** a twenty-four-hour **period** from the time it was heard.

[Nedarim 77a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/77a:4)

לְמַאן דְּאָמַר כׇּל הַיּוֹם אִין, טְפֵי לָא — אֲפִילּוּ שֶׁלֹּא לְצוֹרֶךְ הַשַּׁבָּת מֵפֵר. לְמַאן דְּאָמַר מֵעֵת לְעֵת, לְצוֹרֶךְ הַשַּׁבָּת — אִין, שֶׁלֹּא לְצוֹרֶךְ הַשַּׁבָּת — לָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**According to the one who says all day, yes,** one can nullify vows all day, but **not more** than that; **he may nullify** on Shabbat **even** when it is **not for the purpose of Shabbat,** since otherwise, he could not nullify a vow taken on Shabbat at all. **According to the one who says** that one can nullify her vows **for** a twenty-four-hour **period,** that which is **for the purpose of Shabbat, yes,** he may nullify, but that which is **not necessary for Shabbat,** he **may not** nullify, as he can do so after Shabbat.

[Nedarim 77a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/77a:5)

וְנִשְׁאָלִין לִנְדָרִים שֶׁהֵן לְצוֹרֶךְ הַשַּׁבָּת. אִיבַּעְיָא לְהוּ: כְּשֶׁלֹּא הָיָה לָהֶם פְּנַאי, אוֹ דִלְמָא כְּשֶׁהָיָה לָהֶם פְּנַאי? תָּא שְׁמַע, דְּאִיזְדְּקִיקוּ לֵיהּ רַבָּנַן לִבְרֵיהּ דְּרַב זוּטְרָא בְּרֵיהּ דְּרַב זְעֵירָא אֲפִילּוּ בִּנְדָרִים שֶׁהָיָה לָהֶם פְּנַאי מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna from tractate *Shabbat* teaches: **And one may request** from a halakhic authority **to** dissolve **vows that are for the purpose of Shabbat. A dilemma was raised before** the Sages: Is this specifically **when those** who took the vows **did not have the opportunity** to request dissolution of the vows before Shabbat, **or perhaps** it is the case even **when they did have the opportunity?** The Gemara responds: **Come** and **hear:** It happened **that the Sages attended to** the dissolution of the vows of **the son of Rav Zutra, son of Rav Zeira,** on Shabbat, **even for vows that they had the opportunity** to dissolve **while it was still day,** before Shabbat had begun.

[Nedarim 77a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/77a:6)

סָבַר רַב יוֹסֵף לְמֵימַר: נִשְׁאָלִין נְדָרִים בְּשַׁבָּת, בְּיָחִיד מוּמְחֶה — אִין, בִּשְׁלֹשָׁה הֶדְיוֹטוֹת — לָא, מִשּׁוּם דְּמִתְחֲזֵי כְּדִינָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yosef thought to say:** With regard to **requesting** that a halakhic authority dissolve **vows on Shabbat, yes,** requesting **of a single expert** is permitted on Shabbat, but requesting **of three laymen** is **not** permitted on Shabbat, **because it looks like** a court **judgment,** which may not be performed on Shabbat.


###### Nedarim 77a:7
[Nedarim 77a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/77a:7)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ אַבָּיֵי: כֵּיוָן דִּסְבִירָא לַן אֲפִילּוּ מְעוּמָּד, אֲפִילּוּ בִּקְרוֹבִים, וַאֲפִילּוּ בַּלַּיְלָה — לָא מִתְחֲזֵי כְּדִינָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Abaye said to him: Since we hold** that vows may be dissolved **even** while the halakhic authority **is standing,** and **even by relatives, and even at night,** it **does not look like a judgment.** Since it is not regarded as an act of a court, vows may be dissolved on Shabbat even by three laymen.


###### Nedarim 77a:8
[Nedarim 77a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/77a:8)

אָמַר רַבִּי אַבָּא אָמַר רַב הוּנָא אָמַר רַב: הֲלָכָה, מְפִירִין נְדָרִים בַּלַּיְלָה. וְהָא מַתְנִיתִין הִיא: נָדְרָה בְּלֵילֵי שַׁבָּת! אֶלָּא אֵימָא: הֲלָכָה, נִשְׁאָלִין בַּלַּיְלָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Abba said** that **Rav Huna said** that **Rav said:** The ***halakha*** is that **one can nullify vows at night.** The Gemara asks: **But this is** already stated in **the mishna:** If a woman **took a vow on Shabbat evening,** her father or husband can nullify the vow on Shabbat evening; why would Rav Huna need to state his *halakha*? **Rather, say** that Rav’s ruling was as follows: The ***halakha*** is that **one can request** that a halakhic authority dissolve a vow **at night.**

[Nedarim 77a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/77a:9)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ רַבִּי אַבָּא לְרַב הוּנָא: אֲמַר רַב הָכִי? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אִישְׁתִּיק. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אִישְׁתִּיק קָא אָמְרַתְּ, אוֹ שָׁתֵי קָאָמְרַתְּ?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Abba said to Rav Huna: Did Rav say that?** Rav Huna **said to him:** Rav **was silent [*ishtik*]** when this ruling was stated in his presence. Rabbi Abba **said to him: Did you say: He was silent [*ishtik*],** indicating that he accepted this ruling, **or did you say:** He was **drinking [*shatei*],** and was therefore preoccupied, so that his silence did not necessarily indicate agreement?

אָמַר רַב אִיקָא בַּר אָבִין: אִיזְדְּקִיק לֵיהּ רַב לְרַבָּה

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
In order to clarify Rav’s opinion on the issue, the Gemara cites **Rav Ika bar Avin** who **said: Rav attended to** the dissolution of a vow made by **Rabba,**
