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.
