halacha
I need help to understand the prayer of Moses at the end of Beha'alotecha: "Moses cried out to God, saying:" Please God, heal her now! "Rashi offers two explanations for this brief prayer: 1) Moshe did not want Israel criticized him for spending too much time in prayer, while his sister suffered. 2) Moshe did not want Israel to claim that he spent more time praying for his sister that he pray for them.
I took a survey this past Shabbat, asking people: "If, God forbid, someone close to you was seriously sick, please concisely, as in "Please God, heal her!" Or, more elaborate prayer?
I asked 25 people. Only one knew immediately that I was asking about the prayer of Moses for Miriam. 20 people responded that if they thought about it, that probably would not, which stated concisely. 5 argued that prayer is more effective.
Rashi Why so upset by the prayer of Moses?
How could be criticized for a long sentence, while his sister was suffering when he was praying for his recovery? We can infer that there is a prayer long for someone who is sick? title = "Halacha"> Halacha reminds us that not a long prayer at the bedside of someone who can make him or she is nervous that he or she is in more danger than before he or she thought, but not mentioned in the Halakhah of praying for a long time while someone is suffering.
Miriam did not suffer as much as she was ashamed. Is that the key to understanding why Moshe could not pray at last? Did work prayer of Moses, at least, to shorten the time of their suffering?
How could Israel possibly complain that Moses had not prayed enough prayers compiled by them?
If Moses was so worried, how would pray 515 prayers to be allowed to enter Israel? That Israel would not complain that they read 515 times to be permitted to enter Israel after the sin of the spies?
When we ask someone to pray for us who prefer a short prayer or long?
