At the end of last week, the Kaliver Rebbe Shlita, 93, fell in his home. Unfortunately, despite his cries for assistance, there was no one there to assist the elderly rebbe, as his gabboim were not there at the time.
At some point, his gabbai, Reb Binyomin Kirschenbaum returned and together with another family member who arrived, they succeeded in picking the rebbe up.
Despite the pain, the rebbe refused to go to a hospital to be checked. It is reported that the rebbe has not come to minyan or tischen since the fall.

This is the Rebbe who says “Shma Yisrael” with little children. He doesn’t have a beard because of the experiments made on him (Yimach Shemam) during WWII.
May he have a Refuah Shleima and greet Moshiach Tsidkenu very very soon.
I would be more ha happy to procure a “medical alert device necklace” for the Rebbe shlita.
that should not be allowed to happen; at least anyone of that age should have an emergency button on him/herself.
its enough of a bizyon that he fell, why do you have to post it as a news item. What happened to privacy?
