Doctors told family members that the rabbi was facing serious medical issues, and that prayers could only help at this time. Family members said that they believed that Rabbi Yosef would recuperate, but that the help of Heaven was definitely needed.
Rabbi Yosef is continuing his daily routine at this time, presenting Torah lectures and receiving visitors.
What is his full name and his mother’s name?
Rav yakov chai ben margalit
He should have a refuah shelamah. While I wish he would be a bit more discrete in his political statements, he is clearly a great talmid chacham and highly respected by most Sephardim. We have lost too many gadolim in the past few years, and his loss would really be felt by klal yisroel.
