Can I make as many vows as I wish -- and retroactively nullify them during Kol Nidrei?!

Library » Miscellaneous » Vows | Subscribe | What is RSS? PRINT EMAIL COMMENT If one makes a vow, while aware of what he/she said at Kol Nidrei, that effectively nullifies the Kol Nidrei. For by making the vow, the person is demonstrating that he/she recants what was said on Yom Kippur. The Kol Nidrei helps only if (a) a person makes a vow unknowingly (For example by doing a good deed three consecutive times, which Halachically is considered a vow). Or (b) if one forgot about Kol Nidrei while making the vow. ADD A COMMENT Please email me when new comments are posted (you must be  logged in).
