Zusammenfassung:It is well known that according to the early Palestinian custom, qinah poems were recited on the Ninth of Av in the fourteenth benediction of the Amidah (the Benediction of Jerusalem). However, heretofore, it was assumed that this custom was limited to the Ninth of Av alone. In the present study, I present evidence from three Cairo-Genizah manuscripts demonstrating similar use of qinah poems on two additional fast days: On the Tenth of Tevet and on the Seventeenth of Tammuz. This finding is particularly significant in light of a recent article by Shulamit Elizur in which she suggested that the early Palestinian poets did not compose seliḥah poems for the minor fast days. Elizur's study left open the question of how in fact the early Palestinian poets directed their poetic efforts for the minor fast days. The findings of the present study suggest that the early Palestinian poets composed qinah poems for the minor fasts, just as they did for the Ninth of Av.
