Yidden around the world are continuing to be mispallel for Maran Posek HaDor HaGaon HaRav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv Shlita, whose condition remains very serious/stable. The rav is in a 10th floor cardiac intensive care unit in Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Yerushalayim, on a respirator.

The latest report cites the rav is in need of “Rachmei Shomayim Me’Rubim”. The rav’s medical team emphasizes the importance of the continued tefilos for the recovery of Rav Yosef Sholom ben Chaya Musha b’soch kol cholei am yisrael.

On Thursday night at 11:00pm, hundreds of shuls in Eretz Yisrael and around the world will open their doors to mispallalim on behalf of the posek hador, and at 11:55pm, chatzos, they will begin reciting the 13 Midos HaRachamim. The central tefilla will be held at the Kosel. There are also tefilos scheduled in the Ma’aras HaMachpela in Hebron at 11:30pm.

Organizers also remind us that during the Second Lebanon War, Rav Elyashiv called for tefilos at the same time, explaining that even though the davening is taking place in different shuls and countries, the koach combines since the focus and time are the same.

In addition, at the same time, tefilos will also be held at the Kever of the HaLeshem on Har HaZeisim, the rav’s grandfather ZY”A.
