סליחות seliḥot, אל מלא רחמים El Malé Raḥamim, 17th century C.E., 55th century A.M., Chmielnicki massacres of 1648–1649

One of the most prominent martyrs in the Chmielnicki massacres of 1648–1649 was the kabbalist and sage Yəḥiel Mikhel ben Eliezer ha-Kohen, known to posterity as the Martyr of Nemirov. This unique poetic El Malei Raḥamim was said in his honor, and communities that fast on 20 Sivan still recite it to this day. . . .
