Yehuda Cohen, the outgoing Director-General of Israel's Chief Rabbinate, sustained very serious injuries when a concrete beam fell on him during renovation work at his children's home. He was evacuated to the hospital and is currently hospitalized, sedated and on a respirator.
Following the incident, Rabbi David Yosef, the Rishon LeZion, called on the public to pray for Cohen's recovery and to invoke divine mercy. A statement from the Rishon LeZion's office requested prayers for "Yehuda Rachamim ben Chana," who is in great need of heavenly mercy. The public is urged to recite Psalms and pray for his complete and swift recovery, among all the sick of Israel.
