Reply To: Why was the National Anthem or G-D Bless Ameirica not sung by Siyum Hashas?

bklynmom, as shlishi said, davening for Jews in harms’ way, or even non-Jews who lemaysah protect Jews is not a nationalistic thing. You could have mentioned the fact that many shuls say a mi sheberach for the US president. That would have been a much stronger question, but the answer to that is that we are blessing him that he may do what’s favorable in Hashem’s eyes and be gracious to the Jews living in his country. We haven’t a care in the world if he gets impeached tomorrow, if somebody who is more moral & more pro-Torah takes his place.
