The Brisker Rosh Yeshiva, Hagaon HaRav Dovid Soloveitchik was hospitalized today in Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem medical center.

The Rosh Yeshiva had been feeling ill over the past few days and was transported from his home on Amos Street in Jerusalem to the hospital suffering from general weakness. He underwent several tests and it was decided that he should be admitted due to suffering from an infection. He will be receiving antibiotic treatments in the hospital for the next few days at least.

Rav Soloveitchik is 97 years old and is still in charge of the daily goings on in his Yeshiva. He has a full schedule and still gives shiurim in spite of his age.

The public is asked to daven for his refuah, Meshulam Dovid Halevy ben Alta Hendel.
