There is great concern at Ponevez as tefilos are being recited for HaGaon HaRav Chaim Shlomo Leibowitz Shlita, who was taken to the hospital during the night (Monday to Tuesday) of 26 Kislev after falling in his home.

According to a Kikar Shabbos report, the rav got up during the night and fell into a glass door, leading to deep facial cuts and soft tissue trauma.

Immediately upon hearing what occurred, talmidim at the yeshiva began being mispallel on the rav’s behalf. The rav’s name was given to HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita as well, who has been engulfed in his limudim since the early predawn hours.
