HaGaon HaRav Aaron Leib Shteinman is experiencing strong pains in a leg, apparently due to an infection, making ambulation most difficult.
During the days of Rosh Hashanah the Rosh Yeshiva walked from his home at 5 Chazon Ish Street in Bnei Brak to Yeshivas Gaon Yaakov on Nechemia Street, a walk that takes the Gadol HaDor 30 minutes.
The Rosh Yeshiva davens in Gaon Yaakov every year, the yeshiva headed by a son-in-law, Rabbi Ze’ev Berlin to take part in tefilos musaf and shofar blowing. The Rav’s grandson is the bal tokea.
Due to the infection and its accompanying pains and difficulty ambulating, the Rav remains home at this time. In past years, the Rosh Yeshiva delivers many shiurim during the Aseres Yimei Tshuva in Yeshivas Ponevezh and Slobodka, attracting thousands, but this year, he may cancel some or all of them due to the Rav’s physical condition.
A final decision is expected to be announced soon regarding the Rosh Yeshiva’s schedule in the coming days. The tzibur is asked to daven for HaGaon Rav Aaron Yehuda Leib ben Gittel Feige.

He should have a Refuah Shelaima!!!
along with all cholei Yisrael
I actually find it quite amazing that the Rav has told everyone to daven for R’ Elyashiv and to keep learning so he has a refuah while the Rav himself is not feeling well.
AMAZING!
Baruch H’, the Gadol feels better today and has announced that he will IY”H give his Tshuva Talks in several Mosdos. Please continue davven for him.
