The Admor of the Shomrei Emunim hasidic sect was taken to Bikur Holim Hospital in Jerusalem in serious but stable condition, Monday morning, after he collapsed during morning prayers in his study hall on Mea She'arim Street.

Rabbi Ze'ev Kashash, who heads the Ichud Hatzalah emergency service, said it took Ichud Hatzalah's most advanced equipment to restore the 88-year-old rabbi's pulse.
