A weakened Posek HaDor, Maran Rav Elyashiv Shlita made a visit to the Kosel on chol hamoed, arriving in an ambulance. He was escorted to the Aish HaTorah complex.

The visit only lasted a few brief minutes, but it permitted the Rav to be Oleh L’Regel on Yomtov, after which the Rav returned to his Meah Shearim home.

On motzei Yomtov Rishon in Eretz Yisrael, Thursday night, HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita and his rebitzen ob”m visited the Rav, at which time the Rav told his son-in-law (Rav Kanievsky) “I am in need of much Heavenly Mercy”.

The tzibur is requested to continue davening for Rav Yosef Sholom ben Chaya Musha, who now must bear the pain of the loss of another child, Rebitzen Batsheva Kanievsky ob”m.
