Grand Rabbi of Vizhnitz to Undergo Urgent Medical Procedure
Thousands of Vizhnitz Hasidim and the wider Jewish community worldwide are expressing deep concern ahead of an urgent medical procedure scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM for the Grand Rabbi of Vizhnitz, His Holiness Maran the Rebbe Shlit"a. In recent hours, an urgent appeal was issued from Torah and Hasidic centers calling on the public to join a global chain of prayers during the medical procedure.
Special prayer gatherings are expected to convene tomorrow morning in Vizhnitz Hasidic study halls and various Haredi centers. These gatherings aim to invoke divine mercy for the success of the treatment and the robust health of the Grand Rabbi. The community is urged to pray fervently for the recovery of Maran Rabbi Yisrael ben Leah Esther Shlit"a, among all the sick of Israel.
The Vizhnitz community expresses hope that the procedure will be highly successful and that the Rebbe will soon return to full strength. They anticipate his continued leadership of his large community with good health and renewed vigor, especially during the upcoming High Holy Days and the period of repentance and forgiveness.
