As has been reported HERE by YWN, a choshuva yeshiva man, Chaim Dovid ben Leah (Nemetsky) is in critical condition at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. He is a former talmid of Yeshivas Mir Brooklyn, and currently the ‘ruach chaim’ of Yeshiva & Kollel Tal Torah in Brooklyn. Reb Chaim Dovid ben Leah is a son of Reb Aron Nemetsky of Flatbush and the son-in-law of Reb Moshe Aryeh Rothman of Kensington.
What began with flu symptoms about ten days ago rapidly turned into a complicated and severe life-threatening situation. The patient was transferred from Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn to Columbia Presbyterian which is one of the only hospitals in the country to utilize the Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) machine for adults.
While doctors at Columbia are frantically trying to find treatment and cure for this rare circumstance, the Rothman and Nemetsky families have asked to publicize to all that Hakodosh Boruch Hu is the One who brings illnesses and is the One who holds the keys to Refuah. They are very grateful for the tremendous outpouring of zchusim that Klal Yisroel is offering on behalf of Chaim Dovid ben Leah. They humbly beseech every man, woman, and child to please continue with Tehillim, Tefillah, Brachos, Shabbos, Chesed and Tzedakah projects, or anything else that could serve as a zchus for a Refuah Shleima.
Gedolei Yisroel in Israel and America have urged Yeshivohs, Bais Yaakovs, Chadorim, and Elementary Schools to do group projects for a Yeshuah. Whoever has any connections to principals and administrations of Mosdos around the world should please contact them and urge them to join the Klal in begging mercy from Hashem for this choshuva Talmid Chochom.

Refuah Shelayma!
Yes, and Rabbosai, let’s stop being busy talking lashon Harah! It would be such a big zechus!!!
there was a simialr siuation erev pesach with a talmid from YU which started with a flu and turned into Phenmonia. He ened being on COrneel and was also transfered to Comlumbia ECMO lab to pump oxygen into his blood. He did not make it.
Lets all be mispallel for Chaim Dovid Ben Leah . One idea for a zechus may be to increase the limud of what kidushas shabbos and how to increase our awarness by educating oursleves and our children what is considered “uvda dchol” and not kidushas shabbos or may even be asur to use even in an eruv – such as ball playing, scooters bikes.. and especilay our speech – real estate, the economy.
Lets all try to find some idea for a zechus of cholei yisroel.
refuah shalama. such a special person let’s daven for rachami shamyim!
May Hashem grant Chaim Dovid ben Leah a Refuah Shalama.
Reb Yaakov
may he have a refuah shleima bikarov!!in the zchus of us watching what comes out of our mouth-may he be zoche to a refuah shleima bikarov!!!
For those that know how much Chaim Dovid is involved in tzarchei tzibbur, always arranging public shiurim, raising tzedaka, and constantly helping individuals in every possible way, and realize his neccesity to Yeshiva Tal Torah in specific, to them it is no wonder that all the Gedolei Yisroel beseech everyone to daven for him and do things in his zchus – klal yisroel needs him.
May it be Hashem’s will that he have a Refuah Shelayma B’Karov.
Any updates on his condition?
