RIDDLE
?כ ' סיון -לא גהז - מה עוד




In 1171 כ'סיון,  the first blood libel in

 continental Europe was orchestrated in

 Blois, France

As a result of a church-sponsored trial,31 members of the 
Jewish community was burned at the stake.

The רבינו תם & the ריב"ם organized a fast day & to say
סליחות on כ' סיון. They considered this fast more important
than 'צום גדלי.
Since that time, there have been 150 recorded blood libels.

In 1648, 744 קהילות were destroyed during the גזירת ת"ח ות"ט,
In total, up to 50,000 Yidden were killed. When they killed
6000 Yidden in Nimirov, (70 miles from Uman), the ש"ך
reestablished the fast day & סליחות to be held on כ' סיון

In 1946, one year after the end of the holocaust, where six 
million Yidden were murdered, the Hungarian Gedolim
reintroduced the תענית & סליחות* of כ' סיון


*Fasting, only for those under the age of 55 years


Answer to Riddle
שבועות + כ' סיון  cannot fall on Tuesday, Thursday, or Shabbos (לא גהז)
