“It seems to be part of a particular nusach of tefilas haderech”
what? No it has nothing to do with Tefials haderech. Iti s a standard part of davening that everybody I know says (or at least did when they werent busy)
Though perhaps nusach Ashkenaz ids diferent (though they have a similar yehi ratzon, it is shorter and might not include that phrase)
joseph?
Mind helping us out? Do you say that yehi ratzon after Hagomel chasadim tovim. Sefard or ashkenaz?
“Also one can argue that it is not referring to a misah meshuna that comes about as a kiddush Hashem. ”
Why do you like contrived explanations that arent in the words. IT says misah meshunah it means misah meshuna. period.
“Also, it adds the word “alila” in front, which may give it a slightly different meaning.”
It doesnt
” One of the meanings of “alila” is “false charge”. Maybe it is referring to a misa meshuna which is given as a punishment as opposed to a misa meshuna that is a kiddush Hashem. ”
Why would yopu assume that. so it is a very specific tefialh that we should be protected from a “brazen person while we have azis panim who is also a bad friend and neighbor telling lashan haran testifiying falsely who hates people and tattles to the government creatign a libel while we are sick and have harsh sentence against us etc etc” That is quite a specific prayer. Isnt it much more likely that it is listing separate things?
“Furthermore, it is said as part of tefilas haderech, ”
Again it isnt.
Furthermore in the beracha hagomel chasadim (which Joseph certainly says “we say “וְלא לִידֵי נִסָּיון. ” it would be hard to argue that being in a position that one was asked to give his/her life al kiddush hashem R”L isnt a nisayon
” think that people assume that around here a little too quickly sometimes”
Quickly???? It has been years!
“Posters have done it with other posters as well (besides Joseph)”
Mai inyan shemitah eitzel har sinai? we are talking about Joseph (though make no mistake other posters do the same thing)
