โ€œAnyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-comeโ€ (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)


Question:

What is Hatarat Nedarim?

When do we recite Hatarat Nedarim?


Answer:

Many people have the custom to perform hatarat nedarim on Erev Rosh HaShanah and Erev Yom Kippur. Preferably, one should perform hatarat nedarim before ten people. However, if this is too difficult, he should at least recite it before three people. Hatarat nedarim nullifies all of oneโ€™s forgotten vows, as well as any stringency that one has performed at least three times, which gave it the status of a vow, and he now wants it nullified. [1]


A boy under the age of thirteen may not serve on a bet din performing hatarat nedarim. [2]


Even oneโ€™s own family members may serve on a bet din performing hatarat nedarim. However, a man should not serve on a bet din performing hatarat nedarim for his wife. [3] One may not send a shaliach to perform hatarat nedarim on oneโ€™s behalf. [4]

Nonetheless, One may perform hatarat nedarim on behalf of oneโ€™s wife. [5] It's good to note, when performing hatarat nedarim, one should understand the words he is reciting. [6]

See also Ohr LeTzion, vol. 4, 1:8, which states that one should preferably perform hatarat kelalot, since it is more inclusive than hatarat nedarim.

Halichot Shlomo, p. 7 states, however, that it suffices for a woman to rely on Kol Nidrei to annul her vows, and she does not need to have her husband perform hatarat nedarim on her behalf.
