Rabbi Avigdor Miller (a popular Chareidi Rabbi,
born 1908 CE, died 2001 CE) delivered a free public lecture in
the last year of his life, in which he taught that
Jews should pray for the Israeli Army.
I personally witnessed this; I was there.
When a Jew recites Tefilat Shemoneh Esrei,
he is permitted to add his own personal prayer requests
in the middle of the final paragraph, which begins with
Elokai Netzor Leshoni MeiRa.
I recently began adding the prayer for the Israeli Army in that part.
I know this is not the way it is normally recited, but it is permitted,
and I can say it that way in any synagogue.
Rabbi Steven Pruzansky of Congregation Bnai Yeshurun
in Teaneck NJ told me that I can recite it even on Shabbat
and Yom Tov, because it is a communal tefillah,
not a private bakashah.
