Mekubal Rav Dov Kook of Tiveria on Shabbos told his talmidim during this past Shabbos that the condition of his legs continues to deteriorate, asking them to be mispallel on his behalf. “Only miracles from Shomayim will assist” he is quoted saying.

Some two weeks ago, Mekubal Rav Yitzchak Meir Morgenstern visited Rav Kook, as his talmidim explained Rav Kook was very weak and suffers from excruciating pain and it was most difficult for him to remain seated on his seat to meet with Rabbi Morgenstern and speak with him. Hence, he met with the rav while supine but at some point, he was seated up to show respect to Rabbi Morgenstern.

The tzibur is asked to be mispallel for Dov Isser HaKohen ben Shoshana for a refuah shleima bsoch sha’ar cholei yisrael.
