In the midst of reciting Hallel on Shabbos Chanukah at his bais medrash, the Biala Rebbe of Bnei Brak required immediate medical attention and was taken to the hospital.

On Shabbos morning, during davening, the rebbe felt unwell. He went down to his room, which is below his bais medrash on Rechov Yerushalayim in Bnei Brak.

A doctor, who lives next door, was called to the room and ordered that the rebbe be evacuated to the hospital right away. The 56-year-old rebbe was taken to Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer, where he was hospitalized. Doctors have indicated that the rebbe’s condition is cardiac-related.

All are asked to daven for Rav Yaakov Menachem ben Sarah Rivka.
