Question
Prayer or advice-- my 3 adult brothers will not speak to me for years. They blocked calls .Facebook blocked too. No way to discuss the problem. Why? What to pray or do. ? They are no longer Jewish but I am. Age 50+
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for writing,
We are saddened to hear of your predicament.
There are a number of possibilities on how to deal with this issue.
1. You can send an email/WhatsApp to the brothers telling them you want a relationship with them
2. You can ask someone to approach them on your behalf to tell them you want a relationship with them. This person can also ask them why they refuse a relationship and what you can do to change it
3. Perhaps ignore them. Maybe it is good that they are not in your life. If somebody does not think you are worth their time, then they are probably not worth your time.
In terms of prayer, you can recite Tehillim and ask G-d for guidance.
