Klal Yisroel the world over utilizes Chol Hamoed as an opportunity to visit family and friends. Last night, Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita utilized his Chol Hamoed in a particularly meaningful way- fulfilling the Mitzva of Bikur Cholim.

Shepsil Aron Ben Miriam Zilberman lies ill in Beilinson Hospital. Reb Shepsil ran a catering service for many years. He dedicated his considerable talent and overflowing heart to beautify the Chasunos of Yesomim in Eretz Yisroel. Several years ago, due to kidney failure and a subsequent kidney transplant, Reb Shepsil lost his business.

Right before Yom Tov, Reb Shepsil contracted a serious infection and has been hospitalized ever since.

On Wednesday night, Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita visited Reb Shepsil in the hospital in order to be Michazek him.
