If the situation was very serious, they would halt saying Tehillim to learn Torah in zchus of a refuah shleima for the Rosh Yeshiva.
Doesn’t it seem that our greatest gedolei hador are all old to very old men? Is there a younger generation behind them ready to assume the mantle of leadership once these Gedolim have left for their rewards in Gan Eden?
