∙ 12y agoNo, there is no Jewish equivalent to nuns. The concept of vowing a life of chastity and asceticism directly violates the teachings of Judaism and the Tanach (Jewish Bible). According to the Tanach and Judaism, a person is incomplete if they don't marry and asceticism is seen as a rejection of the world HaShem (The Creator) gave to us.
