קינות 1

1) The ר"א הקליר wrote 50 קינות for Tisha B'av. We say only 19 of them.  2) We say.  3 קינות written for the גזירת תתנ"ו (crusades)  22  unknown       החרישו ממני   25 מי יתן ראש  ר' קלונימס ב' יהודה 33 אבל אעורר     ר' מנחם ב' מכיר 3) The ראב"ן wrote re the crusades that it is unheard of 1000 עקידות (killings) per day (There was one-day when they killed 1300) Unfortunately, this is no longer relevant today because, during the deportation of Hungarian Jews in the spring of 1944, Auschwitz-Birkenau reached peak killing capacity: the SS ימ"ש gassed as many as 6,000 Jews each day. 4) In the קינה, ארזי הלבנון re the  עשרה הרוגי מלכות, you will only find 8 and not 10   (I don't know why)
