Kol Chai Radio reported on motzei Shabbos that there was a slight improvement in the condition of Maran Posek HaDor HaGaon HaRav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv Shlita. As such, doctors are hoping to perform an unspecified medical procedure on the rav on Sunday.
Kikar Shabbat reports that HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita has asked the tzibur to have kavana while saying the bracha of Asher Yatzar, as a Zechus for Yosef Sholom ben Chaya Musha LiRefuah Shleima.

Thank you for the updates. Ah gutteh voch!
Its amazing how the Rav at his age is able to hold on as if he knows how much klal yisroel needs him to be with us. All the davening at the kosel this week certainly is giving him chizuk. What I don’t understand is why Rav Kanievsky, shlita, selects this baracha as the one for extra kavanah in zchus of the rav. I guess id doesn’t seem respectful among all the barochos we say during the day. Anyone have any thoughts why?
