הקדושים מלכה בת ר' מאיר שלמה ושני בניה

יום השנה
הוקבעה לכ' סיון
כ' סיון
In
the year 1171, 31 Yidden were burned in the city of Blois
France.
1) R.Tam was Gozer Ta'anis on כ' סיון
. He
said
"
this Ta'anis is greater than Tzom Gedalya
being it is like Yom Kippur.
"
2) After the גזרת ת"ח ות"ט
(Chmelnitski ym"s 1648-9) The Va'ad
Arba Artzos reintroduced the
Ta'anis of
סיון
'כ
The מגןאברהם
ס' תקפ ס"ק ה writes נוהגין להתענות כ' סיון בכל מלכות פולין
3) In 1946, The Gedolim in Hungary chose כ' סיון as a fast
day to commemorate the Holocaust of six million who were murdered
by the Germans ימ"ש. A special Selichos for כ' סיון was
printed in Budapest.
In Eretz Yisroel Harav Chizkiyahu Mishkovsky
zt"l along with other Gedolim tried during the war
when
the horrible
information
became public,
to
establish a whole week
of
Aveilus (Shiva)
and also a one
day of
Taanis.
The Chazon Ish and Brisker Rov both opposed the idea. They held, in our generation, we are not big enough to declare
a new fast day for Klal
Yisroel.
As a result the
Hungarian initiative gradually fell apart.
R. M. Feinstein zt"l (Igros Moshe
Y.D.4:57) explains that the Gezeiras Hitler ym"s was about to destroy
the whole Jewish nation in the whole world.
This
Gezeira
is part of the original
Gezeira
s Galus which
Chazal had already
established the fast days. We
are not big enough
to add more
to Takonas Chazal.
Whereas the Gezeiras תתנ"א
& ת"ח ות"ט etc. were local
Gezeiros. In such cases, we
may be
Gozer Ta'anis.
The same way if an individual
goes through ח"ו a צרה ל"ע may fast so too can a Kehila
establish a fast.
If we wouid fast on all of the days for which the Jewish people suffered tragedies, then we would fast 365 days every year, because every day of the year is a day when the Jewish people suffered tragedies.
