Book Synopsis Kol Nidrei by : Stuart Weinberg Gershon
Download or read book Kol Nidrei written by Stuart Weinberg Gershon and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 1994 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rabbi Gershon demonstrates that kol nidrei functions as a remedy for this grave problem of unfulfilled vows. The spoken word takes on a reality independent of human control, and no vow already in force can be revoked. Only by means of a legal fiction, whereby the retroactively annulled vow is treated as if it had never taken shape, can the vower be spared the grave consequences of an unfulfilled vow. Kol nidrei is the formula for one such legal fiction.
