Mi Sheberach for the wounded security forces

During chazarat ha'shatz, we will be giving out to each of the men and women in shul 3-4 names of wounded IDF soldiers and security forces. When the gabbai says the Mi Sheberach L'Cholim between Hagbah and the HafTorah everyone will say the names of the wounded on his list, and so – as a community – we will Daven together for all the wounded.
