In most
Ashkenazi Machzorim, above the words of
ותשובה
ותפילה וצדקה there appears three words צום קול ממון
.
What is the
connection of Tzom to Teshuvah & Kol to Tefillah?
The Gemoro says that those who think you need Kol for Tefillah are from the small believers. Wouldn't Kavanah be more appropriate for Tefilah?
Why is it important to tell you Tzedakah is money (Mammon)?
Perhaps, "Tzom, Kol,
Mammon" has no connection to "Teshuva, Tefillah Utzedokoh",
but is a different formula for a different occasion.
1) Prevents bad Gezeiros from ch”v coming.
2) Removes (rids) bad Gezeiros that ch”v arrived already .
To prevent bad Gezeiros from coming, the formula is Teshuva, Tefilla and Tzedaka.
To get rid of bad Gezeiros that has ch”v arrived then the formula is as mentioned in The Rambam in Hl.Taniyos . (based on the Mishna Ta,anis 12b)
Tzom
(א- הל' ד') ומדברי סופרים להתענות על כל צרה-
There is a mitzvah d’Rabanan to fast.
Kol
(א- הל' א') מצות עשה מה"ת לזעוק ולהריע בחצוצרות
Mitzvah min Hatorah to blow trumpets& scream
to Hashem.
Mammon*
(ג' הל' ד'- הל' ח') ונועלין את החניות- ממעטין במשא ומתן
You close the shops- reduce business dealings.
*(Mammon is not Tzedokoh but loss of monetary income)
It's very possible that during the Holocaust years it would
have been more appropriate to say Tzom Kol Mammon,Ma'avirin
es Roah Hagezeirah instead of UTeshuva UTefilah
Utzedaka Ma'aviorin--
