"Chacham" Avraham Chai, known as the "Kabbalist from Pardes Katz", (a neighborhood in Bnei Brak) has been hospitalized in the Ma'ayanei Hayeshuah hospital in Bnei Brak.

The 96-year-old Kabbalist and Rabbi was rushed to the hospital due to a severe bout of pneumonia, and was then connected to a dialysis machine after his kidneys collapsed.

For the past half a century Chacham Avraham Chai has been seeing visitors from around the country in his study hall in the Bnei Brak neighborhood of Pardes Katz. People from far and wide come to receive a blessing from him.
