Suprise Text: Praying for Healing on a Day of Rest
Update: 2025-08-22
Description
Can you pray for someone who’s sick on Shabbat? In this episode of They’re Rabbis and They’re Married, Rabbis Rachel and Marcus talk through a Talmudic debate on Shabbat 12b that asks exactly that question. Together, they explore why the rabbis might have hesitated about mixing words of healing with a day meant for rest and joy, and how this tension shows up in our own lives when we bring pain and worry into sacred time. What does it mean to pray for others on Shabbat, and how do we balance the holiness of the day with the reality of human need?
