Another severe deterioration was recorded during the Simchat Torah holiday in the medical condition of 93-year-old Rabbi Nissim Karelitz, one of the leaders of the Lithuanian hasidic public.
According to a report on the Behadarei Haredim website, Rabbi Karlitz underwent successful resuscitation twice during the holiday - but his condition continues to be serious. He was hospitalized two weeks ago at the Maayanei Hayeshu'ah Hospital in Bnei Brak due to difficulties in heart function. People are asked to pray for Harav Shmaryahu Yosef Nissim ben Batya.
