On a Shabbos afternoon, Yona went over to his friend Yosef’s new house in RBS-Gimmel to see if he wants to review Mishnayos Pesachim together. At the door, he was greeted by Yosef’s father.
“Oh, I am sorry, Yona,” but Yosef is not feeling well.
“I am sorry to hear that,” said Yona, “What’s wrong with him?”
“He just has a fever and a headache,” replied Yosef’s father.
Yona headed for shul. When he sat down in shul, he said to himself, “I should say Tehillim for Yosef!”
But when he opened sefer Tehillim, he was hesitant to start. “Maybe I am not suppose to say Tehillim for Yosef because his illness is not life-threatening. But on the other hand, maybe it’s okay if I say Tehillim for his refuah, because saying Tehillim is just reciting pesukim.”
Question: May Yona say Tehillim for Yosef?
