Description

From the fact that Avraham for Sedom to be saved, the Zohar teaches that one may not daven for resha'im to die. Yet, we know that there is a paragraph in shemona esrai reserved for such a tefilah. This shiur discusses the balance between praying for people to do teshuva as opposed to praying that they die.
