<br>
1- Does this issur refer to a specific kind of object?<br>
2- Does that object have a minimal size?<br>
<br>
Or maybe not. Maybe it's *only* the noun "okhel" that has a minimum size.<br>
Other cases aren't crossing my mind right now.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>A neder to not get hana'ah from a piece of food? </div><div><br></div><div>Switching to the subject line, this is probably a softball question, but if a neder relates to a cheftza, and a shevua applies to an action, why do people say "bli neder" so often in the context of actions?</div><div><br></div><div>And while I'm at it: a few days ago, on the daf, the gemara (around Shevuos 29?) spoke about Moshe (in Devarim) getting am yisroel to swear they will follow the mitzvos.
