I am sharing an article some one forwarded to me:


Keep Praying for the Tosher Rebbe

Last night I received several worrisome alerts on my phone from KolTosh on Twitter regarding the Tosher Rebbe.

These are the sort of statements I read with dread:

The Rebbe's breathing is very bad. High fever. His children are with him in the hospital. Lungs filled with water. Critical. Blood pressure dropping. Doctors say we need a miracle. Only prayer can help. A minyan flew to Hungary to pray by the graves of the Rebbe's predecessors. On a respirator. The Holy Ark in the Rebbe's shul is open for an emergency prayer session.

And then.... the Rebbe's condition is stable.

Then.... this morning, a text that the Rebbe made it through the night with miracles, that his situation is stable.

Then... a little while ago, a message that the next seventy-two hours are important; only prayer can help.

My holy friends, the body and soul of a Yid are not bound by the laws of nature, no matter how desperate the situation seems. We are to never despair.

Prayer changes reality.

Usually it's the only thing that ever can.

The Tosher Rebbe שליט״א is one of the few pre-war Admorim in our midst, a tzaddik like those of previous generations. Implore the heavens for the recovery of משולם פייש בּן צירל. Talk to Hashem in your own words, even for just thirty seconds, asking for the Rebbe to be well. Say a few chapters of Psalms. Take on a mitzva in the merit of his recovery.

His entire life the Rebbe deeply felt and cried over the pain of every Yid! As the Rebbe suffers let us now cry out to Hashem for his own yissurim to end through a speedy and complete recovery!

We still need him among us, down here below.

Watch a video below of the Rebbe making a blessing over bread. I think it has no business being on the internet, that it was probably recorded and posted without his permission, but now that it's up there's much to gain witnessing the tzaddik praising his Maker, cleaving unto Him through a "simple" blessing we typically rattle off.

Most of us make blessings in order to eat. You get the distinct impression the Rebbe eats in order to make the blessing
