The Torah world is being urged to daven for HaGaon Rav Avraham Yehoshua Soloveitchik, Rosh Yeshivas Brisk, who was hospitalized today at Hadassah Ein Kerem following a deterioration in his condition.

The 76-year-old Rosh Yeshiva underwent a complex heart procedure last week performed by a specialist from abroad. Following complications, he was hospitalized Thursday morning.

Tehillim were recited in Yeshivas Brisk this evening, and a special atzeres tefillah has been scheduled for midnight.

The tzibbur is asked to daven for the refuah sheleimah of HaGaon Rav Avraham Yehoshua ben Ettil.
