Chassidim of Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto, who is serving a prison sentence, report his medical condition continues to deteriorate. Some time ago the rabbi announced he was not going to continue his chemotherapy treatments due to the difficulties in being transported to and from the prison and hospital for those treatments.

Chassidim this week held a ‘tikun’ over a two-day period for his well-being. They call on the tzibur to continue being mispallel for the rav.

The rav’s gabbaim request that the tzibur continue being mispallel for Yoshiyahu Yosef ben Zohari bsoch shaar cholei yisrael.
