Yitzchak Meir was admitted to Shaare Tzedek Hospital on Shabbos. He has congestion in his chest which was preventing him from breathing properly.

Your continued prayers for Yitzchak Meir ben Ella Yapha are appreciated.

Yitzchak Meir’s condition has deteriorated slightly. He is now on a respirator, as he is still having difficulty breathing. What can we say? We brought him home last week thinking it would be forever (or at least a good long time). Obviously, it isn’t. So instead of trying to predict the future, we will simply…
Today was the Yahrzeit (anniversary of the death) of Rochel the Matriach. As I drove to the hospital with my wife and my mother in the car, we got to the Gilo neighborhood of Jerusalem and the sign said “Bethlehem Right” (the hospital was to the left). Somehow at that moment I remembered that it…
