Guidelines - Mi Sheberach - Our Jewish Groups

• • • • • • • • • • •

Please keep the following in mind when announcing the names of people in need of prayers:

Submit the person's Hebrew name and the mother's name. Include the word "ben" between those names if it is a boy or man, and the word "bat" or "bas" if it is a girl or a woman
Remove any details or identifying information that would embarrass the person
Don't pass on announcements that you receive from others. We want to be sure that the information is accurate, and that means that we only want to post cases with which you are personally familiar.
Keep the message very, very short. Two sentences is almost always sufficient; a full screen is always much too long. Don't try to impress us with the need.
Don't scream at us. A request written with capital letters looks childish, and it certainly does not look more important. Besides, you are not in a position to tell us that your own individual in need is more important than others, or that he/she deserves priority.
Be sure to word your announcement carefully and briefly. We will try to avoid repeat announcements.
Important: We also want to know when to stop saying Tehillim for a sick person. Please post a second message as soon as it is clear that our prayers have been heard.

After joining the group, you are expected to stay in the group and to say Tehillim for others in need.
