Q. In a number of shuln there have been open discussions and disagreements whether to say during these difficult times the mi sheverach for the Tzahal soldiers (on Shabbat). What does Horav Miller shlita advise?
A. The most important issue in situations of disagreement in a shul is to avoid any machlokos and quarrels and to maintain and keep sholom bais. Therefore Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a suggests that you may recite a "mi sheverach" praying for all the people of Israel including our soldiers.
He also recommended that Tehilim followed by the teflah Acheinu should be recited before the beginning and after the end of Shabbos.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit'a
How can a general Mi Shebeirach be recited for all the soldiers if some of them are Goyim? How is this different than the case of including a Goy in a Mi Shebeirach that was discussed in Shu"t Arugas HaBosem (O"Ch 33)? Especially since he concludes that a Tefillah for the beneficial welfare for both Jews and Goyim is a Tefillas Shov and helps neither the Jews or the Goy? Or in the case of including all the guests in a Horachamon in bentching when a goy is also present, where we must exclude the Goy, as mentioned in Magen Avrohom (189:1) ?
