The story · English

The Kretshnif Rebbe has taken an urgent flight to New York following a severe deterioration in the health of his son-in-law, the Spinka Rebbe of Beit Shmuel Tzvi. The Spinka Rebbe, who has been battling a serious illness over the past year, was recently hospitalized at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan after developing acute pneumonia and other complications. Due to the worsening condition, doctors placed him under sedation.

In response to this critical situation, the Kretshnif Rebbe decided to travel to the United States to be by his son-in-law's side and support the family during this difficult time. This trip is notable as the Kretshnif Rebbe himself has been in declining health and rarely travels abroad. He is expected to remain in New York for approximately two weeks, until mid-Elul.

The Hasidic community has been called upon to increase prayers and supplications for the full and speedy recovery of Rabbi Yosef Meir, son of Bluma Sarah, along with all other ill individuals in Israel. The situation has caused significant concern within the holy courts, highlighting the close familial and spiritual bonds between these prominent Hasidic leaders.
