What's to be done for an עת צרה ר"ל

 

 

What to do during an עת צרה   

 

The Rambam in Hilchos תעניות enumerates 3 things 
that needs to be done על כל צרה שלא תבא

                                              
                                  
1) מצות עשה מה"ת *לזעוק **ולהריע בחצוצרות 
(א- הל' א')
 Mitzvah min HaTorah to blow trumpets  & cry
out loudly to Hashem.

2) ומדברי סופרים להתענות על כל צרה 
 
(א- הל' ד')  
   There is a mitzvah d’Rabanan to fast.    
                             
3) ונועלין את החניות- ממעטין במשא ומתן

(ג' הל' ד'- הל' ח')

You close the shops- reduce business dealings.


*There is no mention in רמב"ם to recite,תהלים.
It is not clear when in history כלל ישראל started
saying תהלים
על כל צרה שלא תבא.
The (משנה
(תענית  ט"ו does mention of adding 
4 specific Perakim of תהלים.to the שמונה עשרה

**The מגן אברהם asks why are we not מקיים מצות עשה מה"ת
and we don't blow trumpets today. (He has no answer)
