HaRosh Yeshiva HaGaon HaRav Aaron Yehuda Leib Shteinman Shlita has been hospitalized in Bnei Brak’s Mayanei HaYeshua Hospital, reportedly with a fever of unknown etiology. The rav was taken from his home at 5 Chazon Ish Street in Bnei Brak.

The rav has been weak over recent weeks, but this morning, Monday, 20 Shevat 5772, his fever went up drastically, prompting the decision to hospitalize him. It appears the rav is receiving intravenous antibiotic therapy and fluids to counter his dehydrated condition.

The tzibur is requested to be mispallel for the rav, Rav Aaron Yehuda Leib ben Gitel Feiga as well as for Rav Elyashiv Shlita, Rav Yosef Sholom ben Chaya Musha b’soch kol cholei am yisrael.
