Harav Mattisyahu Salomon shlit”a, the longtime mashgiach of Beth Medrash Govoha, was airlifted to a hospital in Pennsylvania, Friday afternoon.

Over the past few days, the Mashgiach suffered numerous medical incidents, including seizures and aspirating. Hatzolah transported him to the hospital earlier in the week and he was released the following day. Hatzolah was back at his home on Wednesday after he suffered a seizure. On Friday he again suffered seizures, and a decision was made to airlift him to an appropriate medical facility for treatment and testing.

Rav Mattisyahu shlit”a has been the mashgiach of BMG since 1998, when he succeeded Harav Nosson Wachtfogel zt”l. Prior to that, he served as mashgiach in Gateshead Yeshiva for three decades.

The tzibur is requested to be Mispallel for Matisyahu Chaim ben Etel bsoch sha’ar cholei Yisrael.
