Riddle Of The Day
RIDDLE
This תענית ציבור is being held on 2 different days
of the year depending on which country you live in.
ANSWER
The מגן אברהם תק"פ quotes
The תניא רבתי “ On Friday Parshas
חקת, Yechidim (individuals) fast. That day, 20 [24] wagons of
seforim were
burnt. The fast day was established for Friday חקת rather than the 9th of
Tamuz,
because they made a שאילת חלום if the גזירה was מן השמים.
The answer came back, of זאת חקת התורה the Targum
writes "דא גזירת אורייתא”
This is a גזירה from Shomayim and fasting should be done on Fridays of Parshas חקת.
When the 2nd-day שבועות falls on Shabbos (like this year) Parshas
חקת is read in
Eretz Yisroel a week earlier than in Chutz Laaretz
Hence the תענית is one week earlier in E, Yisroel than in Chutz
Laaretz
R. Zev Rivkin Shlita asked, "If someone is in E.Y. the first
Parshas חקת and will be in
Chu"l for the second Parshas חקת, does he fast a) the first
Friday, b)the second Friday
c) or both?".
answers appreciated
