Posek HaDor Maran HaGaon HaRav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv Shlita was taken to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center on Wednesday morning (7 Tishrei) to undergo additional tests in light of his frequent complaints of weakness and exhibiting general malaise.
The Rav’s gabbaim are concerned over what they describe as a general deterioration in the Rav’s health, prompting cancelation of his daily routine.
Baruch Hashem on Tuesday morning, the Rav did go to shul and even responded to a number of Halachic questions posed to him. During the evening hours, the Belzer Rebbe Shlita visited him at home. A number of other prominent rabbonim also visited the Rav on Tuesday evening, but during the night he began feeling weak.
Gedolei HaDor Shlita called on the tzibur to take part in three days of tefilos on Rav Elyashiv’s behalf.
On Wednesday morning, the Rav was taken to Shaare Zedek in the vehicle of Mir Rosh Yeshiva HaGaon HaRav Nosson Tzvi Finkel Shlita, who has done so in the past as well towards facilitating arrangements for the Rav.
The tzibur is urged to continue davening for Rav Yosef Sholom ben Chaya Musha.
12:00 IL: Maran Rav Elyashiv Shlita has returned home from the hospital. Doctors report a significant improvement in his condition. No additional information at this time.

It probably was just stress due to Yom Tov. The avg. guy can’t handle a daily schedule like he has. With the addition of Yom Tov, Slichos, etc., even he couldn’t handle the extra burden. Hashem should continue to give him the strength he needs to be the Poisek Hador, Ad Beias Moshiach Tzidkeinu.
