Following the Birchas Kohanim ceremony at the Kosel on Monday morning with the participation of only 20 people, the Kosel Rav, Reb Shmuel Rabinowitz, recited a Mi Shebeirach for the refuah sheleimah of President Donald Trump.
As YWN reported on Sunday, Hagaon HaRav Yitzchak Zilberstein paskened that Jews are obligated to daven for the refuah shleimah of President Trump due to the obligation of Hakaras HaTov (gratitude).
Rabbi Zilberstein added that we should daven for Trump using his name and the name of his father, Donald John ben Fred Trump, according to the opinion of the Maharshal.

Two kashas on the name used to daven for Trump
1) If you’re using is full name, why not his father’s full name? Frederick Christ
2) Why mention his last name? I doubt the maharshal said to do that..
It is what it is. I like presidents who don’t catch deadly viruses, OK!
He should get the same prayers he gave to Hillary Clinton four years ago this week when she had pneumonia, “Here’s a woman—she’s supposed to fight all of these different things—and she can’t make it 15 feet to her car, give me a break,”
Midda-knegged-midda.
PRAY FOR TRUMP!
DONALD JOHN BEN FRED.
Show your appreciation for those who have risked their own reputation to defend the reputation of Israel!
When the ends justify the means, morality is bankrupt
@refoelzeev if the name Frederick Christ offends those with delicate sensibilities, it can be simply translated from Greek to Hebrew, as in Frederick Moshiach.
Shouldn’t “Bisoch shiar cholei Yisrael” have been changed to leave out “shiar”.
Sorry my mistake the second word in the name I posted was part of his last name. At the very least it should be Donald John Ben Frederick
Shouldn’t it be Donald John ben MARY (his mom)?
Also, why “betoch shaar cholei YISRAEL”?
Also, notice that Rav Yosef, shlit”a, did not answer Amen. Rav Lau, also, does not seem to show movement under the mask.
