The
Mechaber in Shulchan Aruch (O. Ch. 580) lists additional fast days.
One
of the fast days is on the 9th day in Teves. “It is unknown what
Tzoroh
happened on that day”.
The
Mishno Verurah (sk 13) writes “In our Selichos (Ezkero Motzok)
it
is written that Ezra Hasofer died on the 9th of the month".
It
is interesting, this Piyut is said, only by Ashkenazim. The Sefardim
say
instead the Piyut “Sha’a Elyon” and the Piyut “Yoshev Bashomayim”.
In
both of these Piyutim, it is mentioned that Ezra Hasofer died on the 10th
of Teves.
The
Mechaber, being a Sefardi, must have held that Ezra died
on
the 10th and therefore didn’t know what happened on the
9th
of Teves.
The
Tosfos Chadoshim on Megilas Ta’anis writes that
Yeisho
Hanotzri ym”s was born on the 9th of Teves.
Chazal
were scared of the Nochrim, to write,
that we fast on his birthday.
