Jun 5, 2026·1 min read

Gedolei Yisrael joined Thursday night in directing that the name Chizkiyahu be added for the mekubal and tzadik of Tiveria Harav Dov Kook shlita, amid concern over his deteriorating condition, according to a report in Bechadrei Chareidim.

The directive was issued by famed Mashgiach Harav Dov Segal shlita and Harav Yitzchak Zilberstein shlita, Rav of Ramat Elchanan and one of the preeminent poskim of the generation.

Adding the name of Chizkiyahu Hamelech, whose life was extended by Hashem following his heartfelt tefillah — is traditionally associated with recovery from illness.
