After weeks of cautious optimism, and a series of encouraging news from the tenth floor at Shaarei Tzedek Medical Center – the condition of Maran Hagon Rav Elyashiv Shlita has taken a turn for the worse.

R’ Shlomo Kook, the official spokesperson for the home of Rav Elyashiv, tells YWN that the Posek HaDor was running a fever – and doctors are concerned. After 25 days of hospitalization, and the partial removal of the respirator, it has once again been turned on, to assist Rav Elyashiv with his breathing.

R’ Kook adds the tzibur is urged to continue being mispallel for the rav, Yosef Sholom ben Chaya Musha b’soch kol cholei am yisrael.
