tehillim
Question
R'Aaron, help, I am being attacked for mentioning to people that you are not allowed to say tehillim for sick people. I can't seem to find the mkors you've sighted (countless times) under a search TEHILLIM. (were they deleted?) as always thanks for your time

My personal favorite is the fact that 85% of the people just finished saying a few thousand Pesukim, and hundreds of different Berachot & Tefilot, without having any Kavana whatsoever, and now to give God just that little bit of extra pleasure, we're gonna say a few Kapitlach tehilim.... Look at this one…. 12/4/2003 4:40:15 PM
