Esther Pollard, who has been suffering from cancer for a number of years, was hospitalized in serious condition in Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem after contracting COVID.
Esther tested positive for COVID about two weeks ago and she was being treated at home on the advice of her doctors. But over Shabbos, her condition deteriorated and she was evacuated to the hospital.
Her condition is very serious.
The public is asked to daven for Esther Yocheved bas Reizel Bracha b’toch shaar cholei Yisrael.

Yeah… With all 4 vaccines.
Interesting the headline isn’t “triple vaxxed in serious condition…”
RE: Joshua45 It has nothing to do with how many times one is “vaxxed”. If someone had been treated for cancer, then the vaccination is canceled out. Just that people who get sick will take anything that is out there.
Joshua, can’t you put your vitriolic politics aside and show some compassion, as is befitting a Yid?
Joshua45, the article states that she has cancer which means that her immune system is probably shot therefore unable to fight off a virus.
The covid vaccine never claimed to prevent you from getting covid, rather prevent you from getting very sick with it.
This is a different case because she is immunocompromised
Joshua45, although I agree with your sentiment, that isn’t the issue now. Esther Pollard was there for someone who was literally moiser nefesh for the safety of am yisroel hayoshvim b’eretz yisroel and she needs our tefillos for rachamei shomayim. Jonathan clearly deserves at the very least that we help with a few kapitalech tehillim.
Enough with the medical speculation by people who don’t know anything about medicine or the specifics of this person!!
just daven
BDE. Esther Pollard Passed away.
