	JewishEncyclopedia.com - KOL NIDRE
		The "Kol Nidre" has been one of the means widely used by Jewish apostates and by enemies of the Jews to cast suspicion on the trustworthiness of an oath taken by a Jew (Wagenseil, "Tela Ignea, Disputatio R. Jechielis," p.
		In the opinion of Jewish teachers, therefore, the object of the "Kol Nidre" in declaring oaths null and void is to give protection from divine punishment in case of violation of the vow.
		Yielding to the numerous accusations and complaints brought against the "Kol Nidre" in the course of centuries, the rabbinical conference held at Brunswick in 1844 decided unanimously that the formula was not essential, and that the members of the convention should exert their influence toward securing its speedy abolition ("Protocolle der Ersten Rabbiner Versammlung," p.

	The Kol Nidre Controversy
		The solemnity of the Kol Nidre ceremony is matched only by its puzzling character.
		The existence of a "Kol Nidre" ceremony is first attested from the tenth century (Contrary to a widespread theory, there is no basis for the association of the ritual with the Spanish Marranos).
		In the end, the rabbis were compelled to make a difficult choice between insistence on respect for one's word, and compassion for those real people who urgently needed such a procedure for easing their consciences and permitting their forgiveness.

		An important alteration in the wording of the Kol Nidre was made by Rashi's son-in-law, Rabbi Meir ben Samuel, known as the Rashbam.
		The Kol Nidre should be recited before sunset, since dispensation from a vow may not be granted on the Sabbath or on a feast-day, unless the vow refers to one of these days.
		The Kol Nidre has been one of the means used by Jewish apostates and by enemies of the Jews to cast suspicion on the trustworthiness of an oath taken by a Jew.

	All About Jewish Theatre - The soul breath of Kol Nidre
		The melody of Kol Nidre, which opens the evening service on Yom Kippur with an annulment of all vows made before God, is as haunting as the story of Reb Leizer's search for his son.
		A passage closely resembling the opening strains of Kol Nidre appears in two medieval antiphonaries where it is given as an example of a pneuma in the first Gregorian mode.
		But Kol Nidre's cathartic power is also due to its change of tone in the closing phrases, where it lifts up into a confident and optimistic strain.

	KOL NIDRE
		Indefensibly immoral as the Kol Nidre is, utterly destructive of all social confidence, yet the most earnest efforts of a few really spiritual Jews have not succeeded in removing it from the Day of Atonement services in Orthodox Synagogues where it is normally chanted three times, although a rabbinical conference in Brunswick recommended its omission.
		One of the most important aspects of Kol Nidre is that it suborns or excuses perjury in the Courts in the case Orthodox Jewish witnesses, whose testimony, of course, is rendered worthless by it.
		But the Kol Nidre prayer is a holy advance notice, given in the secrecy of the synagogue, that no promise whatsoever shall be binding, and more than not being binding is then and there violated before it is ever made.

	Kol Nidre Variations CD by Ben Zebelman
		The origin of the Kol Nidre prayer is unknown and its significance has been the cause of controversy for hundreds of years.
		Originally, the Kol Nidre (literally "all vows") was thought to be a means for Jews to nullify vows during Yom Kippur.
		Some scholars, however, now believe that the text of the Kol Nidre was actually derived from ancient practitioners of Jewish mysticism who believed that the prayer could nullify human curses and oaths, which were to be carried out by earthly demons.

	[No title]
		While one formulation of Kol Nidre did refer to prior vows, the standard wording of Kol NIdre that is in general use refers to vows we will make during the coming year.
		The vows which we annul during Kol Nidre are those that we may have to speak in times of great duress in order to save our lives—words which we may be forced to say, implying that we are giving up our loyalty to God when—in our hearts—we know we are not.
		Kol Nidre was never meant to free us from commitments we make in business, in personal relationships, and so on.

	TORAH.NET - A Site for the Observant Jew
		The reason for the recitation of Kol Nidrey at the advent of Yom Kippur is that Yom Kippur does not nullify the obligations of an assumed vow.
		In addition to the repeal of future vows, Kol Nidrey also retroactively repeals all the vows which one might have made during the course of the previous year, but which he had forgotten.
		One who misuses it, debases himself to a level beneath that of animals, for the animal does no harm by its power of mouth, whereas he does; he is therefore subject to harsher penalty, and the repeal of his vows is one means of rectifying the sins of speech.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Holidays: Kol Nidre
		Because it was falsely assumed that Kol Nidre does apply to oaths taken in the court, Jews were suspected of unreliability in this matter and in a number of countries the infamous More Judaica, a special humiliating form of oath, was introduced when a Jew had to swear in court.
		Yet the Kol Nidre is still recited in the majority of congregations, the night of Yom Kippur being referred to as 'Kol Nidre Night.' There is no doubt that it is the famous traditional melody, with its note of remorse, contrition, hope, and triumph, that has saved the Kol Nidre.
		An interpretation given to the Kol Nidre is that the congregation declares, by implication, at the beginning of Yom Kippur: 'See, O Lord, what miserable sinners we are.
