After reporting a “slight improvement” in the condition of HaGaon HaRav Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman Shlita on Sunday morning 2 Shevat, it is now reported the Gadol Hador’s condition has taken a turn for the worse.

Persons close to the rav are getting the word out to the media, calling on Am Yisrael to be mispallel on Rav Shteinman’s behalf, Aharon Yehuda Leib ben Gittel Faiga bsoch kol cholei yisrael.

The call is for tefilos, limud Torah and taanis dibur.

After experiencing sudden difficulty breathing, the 103-year-old rav was admitted to Mayanei HaYeshua Hospital in Bnei Brak on motzei Shabbos. He remains in an intensive care unit just a few short weeks after being released from the hospital where he was treated for pneumonia.

10:26AM IL: Professor Ravid explains the medical team is working to find the source of the rav’s infection, listing his current status as “stable”.

10:52AM IL: HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita calls on the tzibur to recite Perek 142 in Tehillim

תהילים פרק קמב

א מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִד; בִּהְיוֹתוֹ בַמְּעָרָה תְפִלָּה.
ב קוֹלִי, אֶל-יְהוָה אֶזְעָק; קוֹלִי, אֶל-יְהוָה אֶתְחַנָּן.
ג אֶשְׁפֹּךְ לְפָנָיו שִׂיחִי; צָרָתִי, לְפָנָיו אַגִּיד.
ד בְּהִתְעַטֵּף עָלַי, רוּחִי– וְאַתָּה, יָדַעְתָּ נְתִיבָתִי: בְּאֹרַח-זוּ אֲהַלֵּךְ– טָמְנוּ פַח לִי.
ה הַבֵּיט יָמִין, וּרְאֵה– וְאֵין-לִי מַכִּיר: אָבַד מָנוֹס מִמֶּנִּי; אֵין דּוֹרֵשׁ לְנַפְשִׁי.
ו זָעַקְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ, יְהוָה: אָמַרְתִּי, אַתָּה מַחְסִי; חֶלְקִי, בְּאֶרֶץ הַחַיִּים.
ז הַקְשִׁיבָה, אֶל-רִנָּתִי– כִּי-דַלּוֹתִי-מְאֹד: הַצִּילֵנִי מֵרֹדְפַי– כִּי אָמְצוּ מִמֶּנִּי.
ח הוֹצִיאָה מִמַּסְגֵּר, נַפְשִׁי– לְהוֹדוֹת אֶת-שְׁמֶךָ: בִּי, יַכְתִּרוּ צַדִּיקִים– כִּי תִגְמֹל עָלָי.
