Q. May one say Tehillim publicly on Shabbos with a large minyan on these terrible times and recite special public own Bakoshos mentioning the names of our dear family captives?

May one daven special private requests pertaining to the terrible matzav of dear ones during Shabbos? Any special recommendations as to how to do it?

A. We recently addressed a question if one can say during Shabbos after reciting Tehilim the prayer of “Acheinu Beis Yisroel” usually said then during weekdays. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that during Shabbos it should be avoided. Although we do recite many prayers of Mi Sheberach and Tefilos in the amida asking for all different kinds of needs. Yet, it depends on the strength and force of the demand used.
