# Nedarim Siyag LePrishut: Taking a Neder to adjust one's personal attributes and tendencies is a form of serving Hashem. Examples include controlling one's extravagant appetite for meat and wine by taking a Neder against eating them for a period of time. Similarly, forbidding oneself from general indulgences is a means of bringing oneself to lesser focus on materialism. <b>Nevertheless, one shouldn't become accustomed to taking Nidrei Issur (Prohibitive Nedarim). Instead, one should abstain from the actions and entities that he wishes to abstain from but without taking a Neder in the first place.</b><ref>Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah 203:7, Ben Ish Chai (Shanah Shniah, Re'eh 4)</ref> | # Nedarim Siyag LePrishut: Taking a Neder to adjust one's personal attributes and tendencies is a form of serving Hashem.

# Unlike [[Shevuot]], which take effect on the person, Nedarim take effect on the object, therefore, a one can take a Neder to not perform a Mitzvah but not a Shevuah. The Jewish People are "Mushbaim veOmdim MeHar Sinai" previously under oath at Sinai to perform the Mitzvot, and a Shevuah cannot negate another Shevuah. One who takes such a Shevuah is subject to Malkot, as it's a [[Shevuat Shav]]. At the same time, if one took a general Shevuah that prohibited more than just this Mitzvah, it would take effect.<ref>Ben Ish Chai (Shanah Shniah, Parashat Re'eh 19)</ref> | |||
