Deep concern has spread throughout the Vizhnitzer chassidus after the Vizhnitzer Rebbe experienced a significant weakening of his condition in recent days, prompting an urgent call for tefillos from thousands of chassidim around the world.

Community leaders appealed Tuesday to the broader public to intensify their tefillos and supplications on behalf of the Rebbe, asking that he be granted a complete recovery and restored strength.

The Rebbe is currently staying at his regular retreat residence in Moshav Ora, near Yerushalayim, where he has been spending a period of rest and recuperation.

Meanwhile, hundreds of bochurim from the Vizhnitzer yeshiva gedolah in Bnei Brak were scheduled to travel Tuesday evening to the kever of the rebbe, Rav Nachman of Horodenka zy”a, in the ancient cemetery of Teveria.

The gathering coincides with the yahrtzeit of Rav Nachman of Horodenka, and participants plan to hold a special public tefillah on behalf of the Rebbe’s recovery.

All are asked to daven for Rav Yisroel ben Leah Esther.
