<font size=3>According to Minhagei Bais Ha Knesses L'Bnei Ashkenaz that
is put out by Machon Moreshes Ashkenaz, there are two Shabbosim during
the year that are designated as Shvartz Shabbos - the Shabbos before
Shavuous and Shabbos Hazon. It seems that originally Av Harachamim
was recited only on these two Shabbosim. On the Shabbos
before Shavuous the massacres of the Jews in 1096 during the first
Crusade are to be commemorated. <br><br>
For the details of what is supposed to take place on Parsha Naso please
