refuah shelaimah
klal yisroel (and the whole world needs him)
no doubt “resting in hospital” no doubt means travelling thru shas and poskim while he sits/lies there.
In addition to Tfilos and Tehilim for Refuah Shleima for Moreinu VeRabeinu SHLIT”A, it would be appropriate for us to learn his Sforim. Among them are:
(a) Breisa DiMeleches HaMishkan with his Peirushim.
(b) The recently published Derech Chochmah with his Peirushim.
Information regarding other Sforim by HaRav HaGaon SHLIT”A and their availability (which Sforim stores have them) will be sincerely appreciated.
We hope and pray that the Ribono Shel Olam will grant Moreinu VeRabeinu SHLIT”A immediate Refuah Shleima and Arichas Yamim to enable him to continue his wonderful Harbotzas HaTorah to Klal Yisrael Ad Bias Goel Tzedek, VeAd BiChlal.
Refuah Shelaymah!

Following up on Comment No. 2:
Other Sforim by HaRav Chaim Kanievsky SHLIT”A include:
(a) Derech Emunah
(b) Shoneh Halachos
(c) Ishai Yisrael
(d) Kiryas Melech
A good U.S. source for these Sforim is the Sforim store of Rav Biegeleisen: (718) 436-165.
By learning his Sforim, we ask the Ribono Shel Olam to grant Moreinu VeRabeinu SHLIT”A immediate Refuah Shleima and Arichas Yamim to enable him to continue his wonderful Harbotzas HaTorah to Klal Yisrael Ad Bias Goel Tzedek, VeAd BiChlal.
