Prayer for the Recovery of the Chinese
Question
Good evening,
At the Religious Zionist synagogue in Har Nof, they prayed on the Sabbath, following the instruction of Rabbi Dr. Rafi Feuerstein, for the recovery and health of the Chinese victims of the “corona” virus. What is the Rabbi’s view on this matter?
Answer
It seems to me to be just trendiness. Of course I don’t see any problem with it, but why is corona different from any other sick person in the world? Unless their prayer is out of concern that it will reach us.
