Thousands Pray for Vizhnitz Rebbe's Health Ahead of Heart Procedure
Thousands of Hasidim worldwide are being called upon to pray for the recovery of the Vizhnitz Rebbe, Rabbi Yisrael ben Leah Esther, who is scheduled to undergo a heart pacemaker implantation procedure at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem on Tuesday morning at 8:30 AM.
During the procedure, thousands of Hasidim are expected to gather in synagogues and holy sites globally for communal prayers. The call for prayers comes as the Rebbe, despite his upcoming medical treatment, participated in his granddaughter's engagement celebration on Monday evening, reportedly encouraging singing and uplifting the spirits of those present.
The Vizhnitz Hasidic dynasty, one of the largest and most influential Hasidic groups, is mobilizing its followers to pray for the Rebbe's successful treatment and swift recovery.
