Maran Hagon HaRav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv Shlita was taken to the hospital on Sunday evening, after a deterioration in his health.

An ambulance was called to the home on Rechov Chanan on Sunday night, and Paramedics transported him to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center, with police cars escorting the ambulance.

Sources tell YWN that the Gadol HaDor is suffering from shortness of breath, and his blood pressure dropped.

He is Boruch Hashem fully conscious, and undergoing tests.

Just last month, Rav Elyashiv was rushed to the hospital for shortness of breath, but had recovered, and even attended the Chasunah of his youngest grandchild.

YWN will post additional information as it becomes available to us

Please be Mispallel for Yosef Shalom ben Chaya Musha.
