The public is asked to please pray for the immediate, complete recovery (refuah shleima b’toch cholei Yisroel) of Rav Shmaryahu Yosef Nissim ben Batya.

The 93-year-old Rabbinic Leader was admitted to Bnei Brak’s Mayanei HaYeshua Hospital on Thursday, and remains in the Intensive Care Unit, where the Rabbi began to experience difficulty with his breathing early Sunday. Doctors also detected a new heart-related issue on the same day and began consultations to determine the treatment.
Rabbi Karelitz was hospitalized this past April for shortness of breath and high blood pressure as well. He was released following the Pesach holiday.
