According to doctors at Shaare Zedek Medical Center, the situation surrounding the condition of Maran Posek HaDor HaGaon HaRav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv Shlita is nothing short of a “medical miracle”. They are now talking about a timetable surrounding the rav’s possible return home.
Yehuda Schlesinger of Yisrael HaYom reports the rav has returned to speaking with those around him and all assisted breathing adjuncts have been removed. One must remember that the posek hador, who is almost 102, davened korbanos on erev Shabbos by heart, not to himself but audible, for others to hear, to the astonishment of all those around him. He is very weak, but speaking with those around him and the rav is questioning what is planned for a Purim seuda.
The doctors report “no one expected the rav to return home but now, this appears to be a realistic possibility”.
The rav was in cardiac arrest, revived, and has undergone a number of life-saving procedures. Doctors are simply astounded, including the frum members of the medical team who understand the power of tefilla and the unique stature of the patient as a gadol b’torah.
The tzibur is urged to continue davening for R’ Yosef Sholom ben Chaya Musha b’soch kol cholei am yisrael.

Hashem performed this neis. It’s not a medical miracle; it’s Hashem’s miracle.
Being affiliated with the medical field myself, I am amazed…
The exact same thing happened with Rav Mordechai Eliyahu, who survived multiple heart attacks and strokes, was in coma and miraculously returned home for another 2 years before he was niftar. Then, also, I and almost everyone else was quite convinced that there was nothing left to be done.
One cannot conclude anything but that these men are not like other human beings.

While this is definitely a positive report compared to three weeks ago, please do not stop your heartfelt tefillos – The tzaddik is still in need of rachmei shamayim and we should all do whatever we can for his zchus – may he be zocheh to be mekabel pnei mashiach b’karov and help lead us to the geulah shleima
