The Admor of Kaliv, 96-year-old Rabbi Menachem Mendel Taub, who escaped from the clutches of the Nazis after suffering severe torture, is in serious condition after tripping in his home about two weeks ago.
The rebbe underwent severe torture at Auschwitz, with chemical experiments that prevented his beard from growing and lost his entire family in the Holocaust. As a result, he devotes all his time to commemorating the Holocaust in the haredi-religious sector. His family asks that people pray for Rabbi Menachem Mendel ben Bracha Frida.
