A REMARKABLE MIDRASH

סגולה לפרנסה

A Segulah for Parnassah

The Midrash* writes about a tailor who bid on Erev Yom Kippur for the only fish in town.

He bought the fish at an inflated price of 12 Dinars.

When he cut open the fish, he found in it a valuable diamond that supported him for the rest of his life.

לשון המדרש

אָמַר רַבִּי תַּנְחוּמָא, עוֹבָדָא הֲוָה בְּרוֹמִי בַּעֲרוֹבַת צוֹמָא רַבָּה, וַהֲוָה תַּמָּן חַד חַיָּט וַאֲזַל דְּיִזְדַּבַּן לֵיהּ חַד נוּן, אִשְׁתְּכַח הוּא וְטַלְיָא דְּאִיפַּרְכוֹס קָיְימִין עִילָוֵיהּ, הֲוָה הָדֵין מַסֵּיק לֵיהּ בְּטִימֵי וְהָדֵין מַסֵּיק לֵיהּ בְּטִימֵי, עַד דְּמָטְיָא לִ שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר דִּינָרִין , וּנְסָבֵא הַהוּא חַיָּטָא.

בְּעָנָתָא דַּאֲרִיסְטוֹן אֲמַר אִיפַּרְכוֹס לְטַלְיָה לָמָּה לָא אַיְתֵית לִי נוּן.

אֲמַר לֵיהּ, מָרִי מָה לִכְפֹּר מִינָךְ, אֲזַלִּית וְלָא הֲוָה תַּמָּן אֶלָּא חַד נוּן, וְאִשְׁתְּכָחִית אֲנָא וְחַד יְהוּדָאי קָיְימִין עִילָוֵיהּ, וַהֲוָה הוּא מַסֵּיק לֵיהּ בְּטִימֵי וַאֲנָא מַסֵּיק לֵיהּ בְּטִימֵי, עַד דְּמָטְיָא לִשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר דִּנָּרִין, מָה הֲוַת בְּעָא דְּנַיְיתָא לָךְ נוּן בִּתְרֵי עֲשַׂר דִּנָּרִין, אֶתְמְהָא.

אֲמַר לֵיהּ מָאן הוּא, אֲמַר לֵיהּ בַּר נָשׁ פְּלַן, שְׁלַח בַּתְרֵיהּ וַאֲתָא לְגַבֵּיהּ, אֲמַר לֵיהּ מָה חֲמֵית חַיָּט יְהוּדָאי דַּאֲכַלְתְּ נוּן בִּתְרֵי עֲשַׂר דִּנָּרִין.

אֲמַר לֵיהּ מָרִי אִית לָן חַד יוֹם, בְּכָל חוֹבִין דַּאֲנַן עָבְדִין כָּל יוֹמֵי שַׁתָּא, הוּא מְכַפֵּר עֲלֵינַן. וְכַד הוּא אֲתָא לֵית אֲנַן צְרִיכִין לְיַקּוּרֵי יָתֵיהּ.

אֲמַר כֵּיוָן שֶׁהֵבֵאתָ רְאָיָה לִדְבָרֶיךָ הֲרֵי אַתָּה פָּטוּר.

מַה פָּרַע לוֹ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, הָלַךְ וְקָרַע אוֹתָהּ

וְזִמֵּן לוֹ בְּתוֹכָהּ מַרְגָּלִיּוֹת טוֹבָה,
וְהָיָה מִתְפַּרְנֵס הֵימֶנָּהּ כָּל יָמָיו.

SOURCES & NOTES

* בראשית רבה י״א:ד׳

The טור הל' יום כיפורים ס' תר"ד has a slightly different version of this Midrash.

The חפץ חיים Was Upset

The שר התורה הרה"ג ר' חיים קניבסקי writes the חפץ חיים was upset that he missed an important הלכה in the משנה ברורה .

THE MISSING HALACHA

"If someone mistakenly said המלך הקדוש on מוצאי יום כיפור he needs not to repeat the שמונה עשרה ."

The Chofetz Chaim Was Reassured

He calmed down when he was told that he indeed did write it in ביאור הלכה ס' תפ"ז .

When Are We Written
and When Are We Sealed?

בראש השנה יכתבון
וביום צום כיפור יחתמון

On Rosh Hashanah will be inscribed and on Yom Kippur will be sealed.

THE QUESTION
To whom is the Paytan referring?

Chazal tell us that both, Tzadikim and Reshoim, have the Kesiva and Chasima on Rosh Hashanah.

The Beinonim have the Kesiva and Chasima on Yom Kippur.

The Difficulty:
If the writing and sealing take place on the same day for each group, why does the Paytan describe the writing on Rosh Hashanah and the sealing on Yom Kippur?

Three Possible Answers

A. A Different Opinion

The Paytan disagrees with Reb Kruspadoai and holds that all have the Kesiva on Rosh Hashanah and the Chasima on Yom Kippur.

B. The Beinonim

The Beinonim can have their Kesiva on day 1 or day 2, 3, 4, etc., until Yom Kippur (depending when he did Teshuva).

Some Beinonim have the Kesiva on Rosh Hashanah and others have it on Yom Kippur, but all Beinonim have the Chasima on Yom Kippur.

(מהרש״א ראש השנה)

C. The Individual and the Community

For Yechidim (individuals):
The Kesiva and Chasima happen the same day.

Tzadikim and Reshoim on Rosh Hashanah and Beinonim on Yom Kippur.

---

For the Tzibbur:
(Kehilla, City, Country, etc.)

If the Tzibbur is Beinoni, the Kesiva is on Rosh Hashanah and the Chasima on Yom Kippur.
