Did
you know? (232-3-4-5-6)
1) ר"א הקליר wrote 50 קינות
for Tisha B'av. We say
only 19 of them.
2)
In
the "קינה, "ארזי הלבנון re the עשרה הרוגי מלכות, you will
only find 8
and not 10
(I don't know why)
3) We say. 4 קינות written for the גזירת
תתנ"ו (crusades)
22 unknown
החרישו ממני
25 מי
יתן ראש ר' קלונימס ב' יהודה
29 אמרתי שעו מני ר' קלונימס ב' יהודה
33 אבל אעורר
ר' מנחם ב' מכיר
4) The ראב"ן wrote re the crusades that it is unheard of
1000 עקידות (killings) per day
(In 1944, the Nazis ימ"ש killed over 6,000 Jews each day.)
5) In שו"ת מהר"ם מרוטנברג ב' נ"ט was asked If one may
kill his wife
& children to save them from being captured alive by the enemy
(crusades)
The Maharam M. answered, " For sure one may kill
himself. על קידוש השם -
and even to kill the children the היתר
has spread. ( is acceptable)
We heard of many Gedolim who have slaughtered their children.
R.Klonimus writes in his קינה,
אמרתי שעו מני that *he killed his
own family."
*In the קינה, אמרתי שעו מני from R. Kloinimos we have
today, we don't find any mention
of R.
Kloinimos killing his own family. He does write
כבש האב רחמיו לזבח ילדיו השלים ככרים
לטבח-
- מי ישמע -הבן נשחט והאב קורא
את שמע
The English
Art Scroll Kinnos (Pages 292-3) in the footnotes, writes,
"
the medieval censors laid a heavy hand on this Kinnah as is
obvious "
