Former Jerusalem mayor and ba’al chessed Rabbi Uri Lupolianski is currently in critical condition after being hospitalized about two weeks ago at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.
His family and Yad Sarah released a statement saying, “Rav Uri Lupolianski is in critical condition and needs our tefillos. The name for tefillah is Uri ben Malka—and that all chasadim should be in his zechus.”
Rabbi Lupolianski, 74, known for dedicating his life to easing the suffering of the ill and those with disabilities, was hospitalized after suffering from severe pneumonia that caused severe breathing difficulties.
Rabbi Lupolianski founded and headed the famed Yad Sarah organization. He launched the chessed project in a small apartment, and over the years it grew into a vast network serving millions of people and earning international recognition. He later made history as the first Chareidi representative elected to serve as mayor of Jerusalem, a role in which he worked tirelessly for the city’s development and the welfare of all its residents.
Now, as he himself needs Rachamei Shamayim, his family is calling on the public to daven fervently for a refuah sheleimah for Uri ben Malka b’toch sha’ar cholei Yisrael.

Tehillim Aleph,
“The praises of a man are that he did not follow the counsel of the wicked (rasha), neither did he stand in the way of sinners nor sit in the company of scorners.
But his desire is in the Law of the L-rd and in His Law he meditates day and night.
He shall be as a tree planted besides rivulets of water, which brings forth its fruit in its season, and its leaves do not wilt; and whatever he does prospers.”
Refuah Shleimah Uri ben Malka.
