The head of the Shas Moetzas Gedolei Hatorah, HaGaon HaRav Shalom Cohen Shlita is set to be released from Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital on erev Shabbos Parshas Korach 5775.

The rav, who also serves as Rosh Yeshivat Porat Yosef, is expected to arrive at his home in the Old City of Yerushalayim on Friday afternoon.

The rav was admitted on Thursday morning, 1 Tammuz for tests as he complained of weakness. After a number of diagnostic tests and consultation with doctors, the decision was made to release the rav before Shabbos. The rav is also being treated for excruciating pain in one of his legs. Among those who visited with Rabbi Cohen during his brief stay was Deputy Health Minister R’ Yaakov Litzman.

The tzibur is asked to continue being mispallel for Shalom ben Malka Tufcha for a refuah shleima bsoch kol cholei am yisrael.
