I have a brother who is very sick. He has cancer. How can we (his brothers ,sisters and mother) do in order to help him to be cured? We read tehilim and pray all the time but what can we do except these? Is reading “tomer devorah” useful?
Answer:
Tehillim is of course great, as is all prayer, in the true knowledge that disease and cure are in the hands of Hashem.
Beyond this, you can perhaps find something (small but significant) to accept upon yourselves, perhaps as a family, to strengthen yourselves in a particular area, be it bein adam lechaveiro or bein adam la-Makom. This will surely be a great zechus for your brother’s wellbeing.
[I don’t know about reading Tomer Devorah, which is not really a “prayer book,” and a difficult book to learn.]
Of course, prayer and good deeds must be combined with the best possible course of treatment.
Wishing your brother a true and speedy refu’ah sheleimah.
