Don't Worry
Don't Worry
ובזמן
שישראל עושין רצונו של מקום אין מתייראין מכל
אלה שנאמר כה
אמר ה' -- ומאותות השמים אל תחתו כי יחתו הגוים מהמה (סוכה
כ"ט.)
The משנה ברורה תק"פ:ב
quotes the ספר חסידים to fast on a lunar
eclipse (based the גמרא סוכה כ"ט)
In the year 1044 in the month of כסליו,
there was a lunar eclipse and two weeks later there was a
solar eclipse across Europe.
R. Yechiel Mi Roma* wrote a סליחה/פיוט
for the occasion. It was based on the two פסוקים in Yirmiyahu (10:2,3) '---כה אמר ה
(Yidden
need not fear an eclipse)
Every Stanza has three lines of פיוט and
the fourth line has part of the two פסוקים.
1st.
Stanza (rough translation)
אתה
גלית סודך לצופי חזיוני
You uncovered your secrets to the נביאים אליך
להשליך יהב ברעש רזיוני
To you the burden of nature noises should be thrown בל
תשתע מלקיית מאורי רונני
Do not dissolve from the eclipse of the lights
who sing שירה כה
אמר ה
BTW. There is
a not-well-known Halacha that is not mentioned in Shulchan
Aruch but both the Bais Yosef and Darkei Moishe
(Rema) (on the Tur) quote the מהריל, that after
a lunar eclipse one can't make anymore
Kiddush Levanah even if it is less than a 1/2
month from the Molad (about 14 days 18 hours 22
minutes)
*R.Yechiel
Mi Roma was Rosh Yeshiva in Rome. He was the father
of the famous R.Nosson Mi Roma theבעל הערוך
