- Q. B’nai Brith of Canada, has revealed that antisemitic acts more than doubled between 2022 and 2024. Since our lives and the lives of our children are now at a real risk in Canada.
I humbly think that the Vaad of Rabbis of our community should compose a special Tefila to pray for the welfare and benefit of our community, specially children, to be said during prayers in all congregations, specially now as Sukoth approaches. This would also enhance the most necessary conscience of taking extra care. I think that an initiative and commitment of Horav Miller Shlit”a is essential to get this started.
A. Harav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a opinion is that as is, we constantly daven and recite Tehilim and Tefilos for the benefit and deliverance of our nation and all our congregations, such as the Mi Sheberach before Musaf on Shabbos, the Lamenatzeach recited before Uva Letzion daily, Brich Shmei and Av Horachamim before the reading of the Torah, and others. Therefore the special Tefila you suggest may be conflicting and likely not accepted by all congregations even on that area, thus creating an unnecessary and unwanted division.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu and Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit'a.
