Forgot My Vow

Question

How does one try to fulfill a covenant made with Ha Shem when one does not remember the content of the covenant?

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

If you are sure you made a vow, but do not remember what you vowed, then you are exempt with the Hatart Nedarim that you declared before Rosh Hashana.
