The head of the Purat Yosef Yeshiva in the Old City and the president of the Shas Party's Council of Torah Sages, Rabbi Shalom Cohen, has been hospitalized in intensive care for more than a week. According to reports, the 91-year-old Rabbi Cohen has been hospitalized at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem since the beginning of the week due to an infection in his leg, and recently Aggravation of his condition, which is now defined as very difficult.

About two days ago, there was another deterioration in his condition, which caused great concern among senior Shas officials. Shas chairman Aryeh Deri tweeted on his Twitter account and wrote: "Out of anxiety for the safety of our father, our teacher and our greatest leader of the generation, Maran Hacham Shalom Cohen ben Tufa Malka Shalita, President of the Council of Torah Sages, prays in supplication along with all of Klal Yisrael for his complete and speedy recovery, in sound health soon."

Prime Minister Yair Lapid wrote on his Twitter account: "In my name and in the name of all the people of Israel, I wish a speedy recovery to the president of the Council of Torah Sages, Hacham Shalom Cohen."


Two days ago, the chairman of the opposition and the Likud, Binyamin Netanyahu, wrote on Twitter that he is "praying together with the entire people of Israel for the complete recovery of the president of the Council of Torah Sages, Rabbi Hacham Shalom Cohen.

'Shabbat is from crying out and healing is near to come.'" Following Rabbi Shalom Cohen's difficult situation, in the evening of Shabbat there was a prayer of many for his well-being led by the elders of Israel.
