Thousands of Vizhnitz yeshiva students are scheduled to convene on Friday night at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron for a mass prayer gathering. The event will be led by the three sons of the Admor of Vizhnitz: Chaim Meir Hager, Av Beis Din of Vizhnitz; Yitzchak Yeshayahu Hager; and Yaakov Mordechai Hager, Av Beis Din of Vizhnitz Elad. The gathering is being held amidst concern for the health of the Admor, who is reportedly experiencing severe weakness. Concurrently, large numbers of Vizhnitz Hasidim will gather in Meron for a similar prayer event, seeking divine mercy for the Admor's complete recovery and for the welfare of all of Israel. The Admor is expected to return to his residence in Bnei Brak on Wednesday evening from his current lodging in Moshav Ora, ahead of his great-granddaughter's wedding in two weeks. The public is urged to continue praying for the swift and complete recovery of the Admor, identified as Rabbi Israel ben Leah Esther.
