"Refuah Shlemah?" in Hebrew means "How are you?" We ask of these tidings of our Temple member friends, especially around this time of the Jewish calendar year being so close to the High Holidays, the Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah, Kol Nidre, Yom Kippur, etc. "Will we see you at Shul?" Prayers go out to those who are too sick to attend Shul on the Holy Days.
Prayers being sung in and out of the Temple, emails of good will going out, the sick being remembered, the ill starting to heal, songs sung for their healing, petitions to God, personal petitions chanted for God to heal these sick friends. Prayers on all days of the week, not just on Holy Days, all days, Shabbats included. The Mi-She Barack Hebrew Blessings sung for good health for the sick.
To go out of your way, to cook up a pot of Kosher Chicken Noodle Soup or Matzo Ball Soup, to chop the veggies very minute, to use all Kosher utensils, pots and plates. To bless the food using Hebrew eating blessings before one eats. After eating, to sing a blessing to thank God for the sustenance, and for your friend who cooked the food for you.
Time to heal, healing on the Holy Days, living, taking the time to appreciate life, to choose life over death, to keep in touch with your doctor, to heal and to spread healing tidings everywhere, to come together, both the sick and the well, as one, all under ONE God.
