HaGaon HaRav Yehoshua [ben Hinda Leah] Rosenberger, a member of the Badatz Eida Chareidis, collapsed in shul on Friday night. He went into cardiac arrest and successfully resuscitated, transported to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.
Rav Rosenberger also serves as rav of Kiryat HaRama (Beit Shemesh Bet). He is the mora d’asra of the Satmar community in Beit Shemesh. He collapsed on Friday night during Simchas Torah hakofos. He is listed in serious/ stable condition in Hadassah Hospital tonight.
Hatzolah was first on the scene and CPR was implemented. Paramedics arrived as well and after defibrillation and intravenous cardiac advanced life support treatment, the rav was transported in serious condition to Hadassah.
A number of members of Jerusalem’s chareidi community came to the hospital on shabbos to inquire into the rav’s condition. Apparently an avreich, whose wife gave birth, made his way to Meah Shearim to inform community leaders of the rav’s hospitalization and the seriousness of his situation. Many mispalalim in different shuls stopped hakofos to begin reciting tehillim, Chareidim reports.

is this the same hadassah hospital the eida pushed to boycott? refouah shlema to the rav.
Actually, MDA arrived on scene and was about to transport the Rav when some of his talmidim did not let the ambulance proceed while they were fighting over which hospital to send him to. It was only after his wife asked the MDA medics which hospital is the best for the case and transport there, did they allow the ambulance through.
These are the real serious fanatics. The satmar rov never dreamt people would take it so far. Nebach.
#4 posted that “some of his talmidim did not let the ambulance proceed”. If this is true…..
Wonderful. They risk their Rav’s life while they fight over politics. If there is a better example of the harm that these “talmidim” do, I would like to hear of it. These Rabbanim may be truly proud of their talmidim, of their ignorance, their lack of proper behavior, their lack of jedgement, and their aveirot (such as prohibiting pikuach nefesh).
