Maran Hagon Chacham Ovadia Yosef Shlita is scheduled to undergo a medical procedure on Monday morning as a result of a hearing loss. It appears there has been a significant accumulation of fluid in the Rav�s ear as a result of an infection, and doctors hope to evacuate the fluid, placing the Rav under a local anesthetic. The Rav is being admitted on Sunday to prepare him for the procedure.

The Rav�s gabba�im hope the Rav will be released to return home on the same day of the procedure, which is set for 9:00am in Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center.

The tzibur is asked to be to be mispalel for Ovadia ben Gorgia.
