Rabbi David Batsri, a prominent Kabbalist and head of the 'HaShalom' Yeshiva in Jerusalem, was hospitalized in critical condition at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer on Friday morning, ahead of the Sukkot holiday. The 85-year-old rabbi collapsed at his home in Bnei Brak and was evacuated by emergency medical services after undergoing advanced resuscitation efforts.

Emergency responders from Hatzalah and Magen David Adom arrived at the scene and performed CPR on Rabbi Batsri. After his pulse returned, he was transported to the hospital's trauma unit for further treatment. Responders described finding the rabbi unconscious and without a pulse, requiring immediate life-saving measures.

Rabbi Batsri is recognized as one of the leading and most senior Kabbalists in Israel. The public has been called upon to pray for his complete recovery, identified as David Shalom Batsri, son of Victoria, among all the sick of Israel.
