In the wake of the Belzer Rebbe’s health issues over the past few weeks, chasidim have called for a worldwide prayer vigil to take place at 6:30 PM Israel time (11:30 Eastern Time).
The chasidus announced that “in light of the call by the Rav Hatzadik [Rav Aharon Mordechai Rokeach, the only son of the rebbe] that everyone should pray for the health and speedy recovery of strength for our father, our guide and leader the Rebbe Shlita, the Belz chasidim around the world will unite in a worldwide Tefillah. Today, the 11th of Nissan, with Mincha at 6:30 PM in the Beis Midrash Hagadol, and a public tefillah at the same hour in every location.”
On Wednesday Hatzalah organizations were summoned to the Rebbe’s house after he felt unwell. The rebbe’s situation stabilized afterwards but he has remained in his home and it is estimated that he suffered a hypoglyclemic incident.
The chasidus announced that the rebbe had undergone thorough tests by a specialist doctor who reported that the rebbe is now feeling better.
During the course of Shabbos the rebbe did not leave his home, and was under observation by a resident physician. It is presumed that he will not be leading a communal Seder this year as is his annual custom.
