Approximately 10 days ago, a friend called me up to ask if I would take upon myself to recite Tehilim for 40 days to help bring about the release of the 3 yeshiva bochrim who are in a Japanese prison for drug smuggling. My friends are I were asked to recite the letters of their names from the Tehilim of the Chida. Of course, I accepted. It takes me about ten minutes a day to say the prayers before and after the recitation of Tehilim, plus the actual sentences corresponding to the letter yud.
Yesterday, I saw an article in the Jewish Press about their heart rendering situation. Today, my recitation of Psalms took on an added dimension as I empathised with what they were going through, after reading "Hanging In the Balance: Nightmare in Japan".

After being apprised of their anguish, I am sure you will find it in your heart to daven for Yoel Zev ben Mirel Reesa Chava, Yaakov Yosef ben Raizel and Yosef ben Ita Rivka.
This morning, when saying the beracha of Matir Asurim, I had the bochurim in mind.
