Weekly Halacha - Parshas Vayigash R’ Mordechai Torczyner – torczyner@torontotorah.com

May I recite Tehillim for someone who is ill or in danger on Shabbat?

As a general rule, we avoid instituting special prayers for Divine assistance on Shabbat, lest the prayer itself instigate a feeling of pain and detract from the enjoyment of Shabbat. For this reason, some even omit the HaRachaman portions appended to birkat hamazon, although standard practice is to include all "official" prayers and only eschew special additions.

In three special cases, special prayers for aid are required: Where an individual or community faces immediate danger

to life, we are obligated to recite special prayers for their assistance.

Where an ill person is not in immediate danger but has requested special prayer, if failure to accede could upset the patient and increase the danger, we are obligated to comply;

One who is greatly disturbed by a particular dangerous situation, such that refraining from additional prayer would ruin his Shabbat, should pray privately.

(Taanis 19a,22b; Talmud Yerushalmi Shabbat 15:3; Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Shab-bat 2:24 and Hilchot Taaniyot 1:6; Pe'er haDor 130; Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 288:9, 576:13; Torah Lishmah 103; Mishneh Berurah 188:9, 288:22; Aruch haShul-chan Orach Chaim 288:5-6, 288:16-17, 576:17-20; B'Tzel haChachmah 5:41;Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 1:105; Shemirat Shabbat k'Hilchatah 40:49; Az Nidbiru 14:21-23; Ishei Yisrael 23:(187), 36:(63); Nishmat Shabbat 2:384)

SHORT VORT ON PARSHAS VAYIGASH BY: RABBI SPITZ

Our Parsha begins with the word “Vayigash”. On a literal level, this word means “and he approached”, referring to Yehuda approaching Yosef on behalf of his brothers. On a deeper level, this word means “and he stepped up to the moment”, referring to Yehuda stepping up to the moment and becoming the leader of his brothers. The word “Vayigash” appears three times in Tanach, this being the second of the three. The first time is by Avraham, when he appeals to Hashem to reconsider the decision to eliminate the people of Sedom. Avraham “steps up to the moment” and confronts Hashem about getting rid of the righteous along with the wicked. The third time is by Eliyahu HaNavi, as he fights with the Prophets of Ba’al on Har HaCarmel. Eliyahu “steps up to the moment” and defends Hakadosh Baruch Hu against these false prophets. Avraham, Yehuda and Eliyahu each had a moment of truth. “Vayigash”, each one of them “stepped up to that moment of truth”. And in doing so, each one of them forever inspires us to “step up to our moments of truth”.
