Question
Can we say prayers for the sick of non-Jews during the Amida? If so, do we just say their names or do we say their first name - ben/bat and mothers name. Also, do we finish by saying among all the sick of the children of Israel or when saying the prayers for the non-jew, do we leave that off. I was told we could not change the structure of the prayer, so wondering if I should say prayers for them during the reading of Tehillim instead. Thank you for your time.
Answer
Yes, itโ€™s better to pray for gentiles after reciting Tehilim, and you donโ€™t add โ€œamong the rest of the sick of Israelโ€, unless you are also praying for sick Jews, as well. Say their name and their motherโ€™s name, just like regarding Jews.
