Family members report the condition of askan Rav Micha Refael [ben Rosa] Rothschild has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

The rav was a passenger in a vehicle traveling from Bnei Brak to Yerushalayim when it spun out of control due to inclement weather conditions. He sustained a serious head injury and was transported to the trauma unit of Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.

Last week, as his condition deteriorated, the name Refael was added as mispalalim gathered at the home of HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita.

During the night, reports from the hospital point to yet another decline in the rav’s condition. (Yechiel Spira – YWN Israel)
