Question
Hello to the esteemed rabbis. I wanted to ask if it is possible to be a Nazirite in our time. As I heard, there was the Nazirite Rabbi in Haifa and other rabbis, and should I be concerned that the Nazirite vow ends before Passover so I can drink the 4 cups?
Answer
It is forbidden to take a Nazirite vow in our days. A person who has taken a Nazirite vow is obligated to annul it. A person who takes a Nazirite vow in our time cannot complete it until he brings sacrifices, and therefore, until the Temple is rebuilt, he is forbidden to cut his hair or even comb it, and of course, not to become impure by the dead or drink wine.
Regarding the case you mentioned, it is advisable to find out what the Chazon Ish said about it.
