UPDATE - Flatbush Yungerman Critical From Flu URGENT! TEHILLIM 4


Chaim Dovid ben Leah (Nemetsky) is in critical condition at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. He is a former talmid of Yeshivas Mir Brooklyn, and currently the ‘ruach chaim’ of Yeshiva & Kollel Tal Torah in Brooklyn. Reb Chaim Dovid ben Leah is a son of Reb Aron Nemetsky of Flatbush and the son-in-law of Reb Moshe Aryeh Rothman of Kensington.

What began with flu symptoms about ten days ago rapidly turned into a complicated and severe life-threatening situation. The patient was transferred from Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn to Columbia Presbyterian which is one of the only hospitals in the country to utilize the Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) machine for adults.

While doctors at Columbia are frantically trying to find treatment and cure for this rare circumstance, the Rothman and Nemetsky families have asked to publicize to all that Hakodosh Boruch Hu is the One who brings illnesses and is the One who holds the keys to Refuah. They are very grateful for the tremendous outpouring of zchusim that Klal Yisroel is offering on behalf of Chaim Dovid ben Leah. They humbly beseech every man, woman, and child to please continue with Tehillim, Tefillah, Brachos, Shabbos, Chesed and Tzedakah projects, or anything else that could serve as a zchus for a Refuah Shleima.

Gedolei Yisroel in Israel and America have urged Yeshivohs, Bais Yaakovs, Chadorim, and Elementary Schools to do group projects for a Yeshuah. Whoever has any connections to principals and administrations of Mosdos around the world should please contact them and urge them to join the Klal in begging mercy from Hashem for this choshuva Talmid Chochom.

Chaim Dovid ben Leah, a choshuvah yungerman from Flatbush who is a father of two, is R”L listed in critical condition following an onset of flu symptoms last week. After a day or two the situation worsened and he began having difficulty breathing.

He was admitted to Maimonides Hospital on June 5th and placed in the I.C.U. A day later He was placed on a respirator but his situation did not improve.

The name Chaim was added to his name Dovid.

Early morning Wednesday June 10 he was transferred to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, one of the only hospitals in the country utilizes a special treatment known as Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for adults.

Unfortunantly, his situation remains very critical.

Thousands of Jewish men, women, and children are storming the heavens with extra Tzedakah, Tefilohs, Tehillim, and acts of chesed for a refuah shleima for CHAIM DOVID BEN LEAH.

Gedolim have suggested to the family, that as a special zchus for the choleh, whoever can should accept Shabbos five minutes earlier than usual and mention the name CHAIM DOVID BEN LEAH LIREFUAH SHLEIMA.

May he have a speedy recovery along with all other Choley Yisroel.

SIYUM HELD IN JAPANESE JAIL


The youngest of the three bochurim currently incarcerated in Japan celebrated a remarkable siyum this past week. Although the Japanese prison authorities are stringent concerning letting in food, they liberally allow in books and newspapers. The young bochur, finding himself in the terrifying conditions of a foreign prison where he doesn’t know the language or a soul, decided to put his long prison time to good use. Just in time for Shavuos, he finished learning the entire Mishnah Berurah.


This impressive accomplishment behind Japanese prison walls is proof that while one’s body can be broken, his spirit can uphold him even in life’s harshest ordeals.
