Jul 30, 2026·1 min read

After nearly two months of intensive medical treatment, encouraging news emerged regarding the condition of the renowned mekubal, Rav Chizkiyahu Dov HaKohen Kook. Family members reported a significant improvement in his condition, while stressing that he remains in need of continued tefillos.

According to the update released from the Rav’s home, he is now breathing on his own after approximately two months during which he was unable to do so without assistance.

Despite this encouraging development, the family emphasized that the public should continue davening intensely, particularly for the Rav’s left hand and fingers, whose condition remains a source of serious concern. They also reported that, at present, the Rav is still unable to see or speak, although he is able to hear those around him.

Members of the household and close associates are urging Klal Yisroel to continue pouring out heartfelt tefillos and supplications for the complete and speedy recovery of Rav Chizkiyahu Dov ben Shoshana.
