Perek II begins with a new Mishna. We learn that Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel disagree about whether or not a vow of nazirut is valid.
The Gemara asks if a nazirite is forbidden from consuming grapes, wine, etc., but figs are not forbidden do we consider the person's intention, which was likely to be a nazirite in this case?
Because the person stated "I am a nazirite" initially, do we consider this person bound by the halachot of nazirut regardless of the error in her/his secondary statement?
Do we consider the vow to abstain from figs to be valid on its own?
We continue our exploration of the nazirite vow with regards to the significance and holiness (?) of hair from a mystical perspective.
