GENERAL: Kol Nidrei

mechael asked:

What is the real purpose of kol nidre?? does it have any effect at all? don't 
we need a beis din of a least 3 dayanim to dtermine if a nevuah is actually 
battel, based often on new informaion???? h

The Kollel replies:

Depending on the exact wording of 'Kol Nidrei', there is a Machlokes (a 
dispute) as to whether it comes to annul the Nedarim from last Yom Kipur till 
this one, or from this one till the next one. The prevalent custom supports the 
latter opinion (which is that of Rabeinu Tam). 

Incidentally, nullifying one's Nedarim in advance is effective only on 
condition that one does not remember having annulled them when declaring them. 
Otherwise, one's Neder cancels the nullification.

As for problems regarding the need to have three Dayanim, you may have 
forgotten that the Chazan is flanked by two important members of the community, 
making up your three Dayanim. 

And the reason that the congregation say the words of 'Kol Nidrei' together 
with the Chazan is in order to annul his Nedarim and those of his two 
co-Dayanim.

Wishing you a Kesivah va'Chasimah Tovah.

Be'Virchas Kol Tuv,
Eliezer Chrysler
