Tefilos will take place IY”H on Monday, 20 Elul 5773 at 17:00 at the Kosel on behalf of Maran HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef Shlita who remains hospitalized. The tzibur is being asked to gather at the Kosel to be mispallel on behalf of the gadol hador.

R’ Ovadia was admitted to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital on Sunday after the rav complained of excruciating pain. The rav cancelled his weekly motzei Shabbos shiur due to the extreme pain. His personal physician checked him and on Sunday morning the decision was made to transport him to Hadassah for a number of tests.

Officials in the hospital announced on Sunday evening that the rav is resting comfortably and that he is likely to remain for a number of days for observation.

The tzibur is asked to continue being mispallel for מרן רב עובדיה בן ג’ורג’יה
