Praying for others

Hi,

"Rabbah bar Chinina Sabba taught, citing Rav: One who can pray on behalf of another, and does not do so, is called a sinner, as the prophet Samuel said (Samuel I 12), 'It would be a disgrace for me to sin against Gd and refrain from praying on your behalf.'"

(Talmud, Berachot 12b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Praying for others' welfare

Hi,

"Among the elements of kindness is to pray for people who are ill, for Gd to heal them... And the same applies to praying for someone who is in some other trouble, even without his knowledge, as we find that Avraham prayed for the people of Sdom, that their city should not be overturned."

(Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan (Chafetz Chaim), Ahavat Chesed, Chapter 8)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
