According to reports from Bnei Brak’s Mayanei HaYeshua Hospital on motzei Shabbos, there is little change in the condition of HaGaon HaRav Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman Shlita, who is listed in worrisome/stable.

In line with instructions from Gedolei Yisrael Shlita, tehillim were recited on Shabbos after his condition took a turn for the worse on erev Shabbos.

While the rav is conscious and davened on Shabbos, he is reported to be very weak and despite his intravenous antibiotic therapy, his pneumonia and systemic infection have the medical team concerned as he is extremely weak and his condition deteriorated on erev Shabbos after days of therapy in an intensive care unit. He was originally admitted on Sunday 25 Kislev and during the week doctors spoke of possibly releasing him for Shabbos.

A special atzeres tefilla was held in Ponevezh over Shabbos and in the Lederman Shul, HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita instructed HaGaon Rav Eliyahu Mann to recite tehillim following shachris. HaGaon HaRav Shalom Cohen Shlita who heads the Shas Moetzas Gedolei Yisrael called on his tzibur to recite tehillim on Friday night with the Heichal open.
