Praying on behalf of one’s parent:[1]
It is a Mitzvah for one to pray to God on behalf of his parents, and that God blesses parents with health and a livelihood. So is the custom followed by all Jewry in the Harachamans of Birchas Hamazon. Furthermore, some write that doing so fulfills the biblical command of honoring one’s parents.[2]
