Rav Eliyashiv's Condition Deteriorates

The condition of Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv deteriorated Monday, after being taken to Jerusalem's Sha'arei Tzedek Medical Center on Sunday evening.

The 101-year-old Lithuanian Orthodox leader was hospitalized last month after experiencing shortness of breath, and was diagnosed as having pulmonary edema.

The public is asked to pray for the recovery of Harav Yosef Shalom ben Chaya Mousha.
