Liturgy zu Taanit 3:6

מַעֲשֶׂה שֶׁיָּרְדוּ זְקֵנִים מִירוּשָׁלַיִם לְעָרֵיהֶם, וְגָזְרוּ תַעֲנִית עַל שֶׁנִּרְאָה כִמְלֹא פִי תַנּוּר שִׁדָּפוֹן בְּאַשְׁקְלוֹן. וְעוֹד גָּזְרוּ תַעֲנִית עַל שֶׁאָכְלוּ זְאֵבִים שְׁנֵי תִינוֹקוֹת בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, לֹא עַל שֶׁאָכְלוּ, אֶלָּא עַל שֶׁנִּרְאָה:

Es kam einmal vor, dass einige Älteste von Jerusalem zu ihrem eigenen Platz gingen, und sie verfügten ein Fasten, weil in der Nähe von Aschkelon ein Maiskolben gesehen worden war, der so groß war, dass er die Mündung eines Ofens bedeckte. Sie verfügten auch ein Fasten, weil zwei Kinder auf der anderen Seite des Jordan von Wölfen verschlungen worden waren. Rabbi Yose sagt: "Es war nicht, weil die Wölfe tatsächlich [Kinder] verschlungen haben, sondern weil sie [in den Städten, die nach Nahrung streifen] aufgetaucht waren."

Siddur Sefard

May Your kindness, Adonoy, be upon us, as we have waited for You. Show us Your kindness, Adonoy, and grant25We hope to earn redemption through our deeds, but if we are found wanting, then “show us Your kindness”—overlook our deficiencies and “grant” us salvation.— Radak us Your deliverance. Arise—come to our aid, and redeem us for the sake of Your kindness. I am Adonoy, Your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.26Request all that you desire and I will fulfill every request.—Ibn Ezra. The Jerusalem Talmud (Maseches Taanis 3:6) indicates that the more one requests God’s providence—the “wider he opens his mouth”—the more he shows his belief in God’s ability to provide all of man’s needs. Fortunate is the people whose lot is thus, fortunate is the people for whom Adonoy is their God. In Your loving kindness I trust, My heart will exult in Your deliverance; I will sing to Adonoy, for He dealt kindly with me.27The foremost level of man’s trust in God is manifested in three situations: a) when he is confronted with trouble, b) when he seeks help, and c) after he has been helped. The Psalmist says: In my time of trouble, I trust in Your kindliness; I seek only Your help, for my heart exults in Your salvation; and I will sing to You afterwards for You have dealt kindly with me.—Siddur HaGra
