Description
Summary:	Explores the laws of oaths and vows as they appear in biblical, Second Temple, and rabbinic sources, and shows how votive institutions as described in Second Temple sources provide clues necessary to understand the evolution of these institutions in rabbinic literature. Suggests a new hypothesis explaining the origin of the rabbinic prohibitive vow and its relationship to the biblical dedicatory vow, and re-evaluates the Kol Nidre prayer formula and its connections with the high holy day season of Yom Kippur.
