Rav Avrohom Chaim Levin, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Telshe in Chicago, Illinois, has been discharged from the hospital after being hospitalized last Erev Shabbos.
Rav Levin had been attending the Torah Umesorah/ATT Midwest Regional Chinuch Conference at the Doubletree Hilton in Mundelein, Illinois, when he began wheezing and experiencing trouble breathing. Hatzolah paramedics examined Rav Levin and he was taken to the hospital, where he was sedated and placed on antibiotics. The rosh yeshiva suffered from a serious lung infection.
Rav Levin was then taken off the sedation but was still connected to a respirator to help him breathe as doctors noted a slight improvement in his condition. On Sunday, with Klal Yisroel‘s tefillos clearly helping the rosh yeshiva, his condition has improved further and he was taken off the ventilator.
Boruch Hashem, he has now been deemed well enough and was discharged from the hospital and will convalesce at home as he tries to regain his strength.
Rav Levin is a senior member of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of Agudas Yisroel of America and the chairman of Vaad Roshei Hayeshivos of Torah Umesorah.
One of the most prominent talmidim of Rav Mottel Katz zt”l, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Telshe in Cleveland, Rav Levin is the only son of Rav Leizer Levin zt”l, longtime rov of Detroit and talmidof the Chofetz Chaim. Rav Levin’s wife, Rebbetzin Esther Levin tichyeh, is a daughter of Rav Efraim Mordechai Ginsburg zt”l, rosh yeshiva of Mirrer Yeshiva, and granddaughter of Rav Chatzkel Levenstein zt”l, famed mashgiach of Mir and Ponovezh.
Rav Levin currently leads the Telshe Yeshiva in Chicago together with his brother-in-law, Rav Chaim Dov Keller.
All are asked to daven for a refuah shleimah for Rav Avrohom Chaim ben Sarah Menuchah.

One of the most prominent talmidim of Rav Mottel Katz ztl, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Telshe in Cleveland
You falied to Mention he is one of the last remaining tadmud Muvhakim of Hagoan R Eliyahu Meir Bloch ZTL as well
His depiction at the recent Agudah Convention of the “quintessential Telshe Talmid”that the founders of Telshe were aiming to create, with full acceptance of responsibility to oneself, to one’s family and to Klal Yisrae-l was truly awe-inspiring, and seemed to be an unwitting statement about his own greatness. May Klal Yisrae-l benefit from his care & wisdom for many years to come
please be mispallel as he is still not in perfect health.
