Q. A dear member of our family is dying in hospital. Because of the severe covid restrictions, even his wife, children and grandchildren, as well as his Rov are not allowed to see him or be with him in the secluded section of the hospital he is in.
Since in our family, in similar situations we all join together and at least a minyan is present at the time of ‘Yetzias Neshama.’ We sing some very moving Nigunim after Viduy and we all loudly recite ‘Hashem Hu Hoelokim’ etc. Can we in this particular situation do it from the ground outside and in front of the hospital, (they won’t let us in) while zooming his image in bed to all of us and our image to him? Is the effort worth it? Thanks for an fast reply.
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it can be done as tefilos help even in such unusual situations.
