The elders of Israel published a joint letter tonight - which states: "And do not take your holy spirit from him."
As the Maran Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Yerachmiel Gershon ben Miriam Edelstein shlita, who is in need of many, is in sorrow, and we are in need of many heavenly mercies, and Chazal already said of a learned scholar who is sick that he should take care of himself.
"We must increase our prayers and supplications, and add strength in studying the Torah and morality, and strengthen ourselves with good virtues for his complete recovery, so that he may return to his former strength."
