Rav Shmuel Yaakov Borenstein, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Kiryas Melech in Bnei Brak, was taken to Mayanei Hayeshuah Medical Center before Shabbos after feeling unwell.
The rosh yeshiva was placed in the intensive care unit, where he underwent a series of tests and doctors are closely monitoring his health. He is said to be suffering from pneumonia.
Rav Borenstein, 70, has been hospitalized several times in the past, including for chest pains and heart-related concerns, but, by the grace of Heaven, has recovered and resumed his full schedule of shiurim at his yeshiva, where his fellow rosh yeshiva is Rav Shlomo Kanievsky, son of Rav Chaim Kanievsky.
Rav Borenstein is a member of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of Degel Hatorah.
All are asked to daven for Rav Shmuel Yaakov ben Yehudis Tziviah, besoch she’ar cholei Yisroel.
