Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Soloveitchik, the revered head of the Brisk yeshiva and a leading figure in the Litvish ultra-Orthodox world, is in critical condition due to a persistent infection, according to a report by Yisrael Weisberg in Hebrew news site BeChadrei. The infection has not responded to intravenous antibiotics, and his condition is defined as very serious. Soloveitchik had been hospitalized last week following a complex heart procedure, as The Zioneer reported on June 11, when his condition was described as serious but stable. The current deterioration marks a sharp escalation. Thousands of followers gathered outside the yeshiva's buildings in Jerusalem last night for a prayer vigil that lasted past midnight. No further updates on his treatment have been released.
