There has been a deterioration in the condition of the Vizhnitzer Rebbe Shlita over recent days. Gabbaim report this has been the case since Shabbos. Officials report the Rebbe is running a fever and doctors are working to rule out a systemic infection. The Rebbe is receiving intravenous therapy.

About a month ago, the Rebbe’s condition worsened but following tefilos, he began to improve. The tzibur is requested to be mispallel for the Rebbe, Moshe Yehoshua ben Margalis. Chassidim will gather at 10pm in the Vishnitz Beis Medrash in Bnei Brak to daven for the Rebbe’s refuah shleima along with chassidim in other cities in Eretz Yisrael and around the world.

Kikar Shabbat reports two daughters of the Rebbe are expected to arrive on a flight from the United States, the Satmar Rebitzen and the Skverer Rebitzen, planning to spend Rosh Hashanah at their father’s side.
