In addition, the rav was scheduled to undergo dialysis today as his kidney function has not resumed.
Following the procedure earlier in the day doctors report the placement of the new pacemaker was successful.
The medical team reports the rav remains in serious/stable condition.
The tzibur is urged to continue being mispallel for

The tachlis is Olom Emes. Olom Ha-zeh is a pruzdor l’traklin. Maran has a gevaldige Olom Emes waiting for him. Here, he lives in a vegetative state, unable to be the manhig he was for many years. In a similar situation, I’ve instructed my family that under no circumstances should they do anything to prolong the inevitable.
#1 arizona: Your conclusion is not true!! Ask a Rav before you go down such a path! Every second of even suffering in this world l’a is important, and it is a mitzva to extend life here as much as possible
