Shimon Baadani has been stable for a week and is going to be woken from the coma apparently.

Shimon Baadani successfully woken up from coma. Didn't expect it to succeed. How exactly does a 94-year-old with already a long health history survive a cardiac arrest, resuscitation and being in coma for more or less a week in "very/extremely critical" conditions? (And another week in "stable" condition)

Yissachar Dov Rokeach (1948) The Belzer Rebbe, fifth Rebbe of the Belz dynasty since 1966. Has been in a feud with the Edah HaChareidis, the group of Tuvia Weiss and Sternbuch. Hospitalised for a week with an infection around summer 2020. Later broke COVID protocols, lead to him being in round-clock care in a mini-ICU in his home. Obese and has never been the picture of health.

 

Moshe Wolfson (1924/1925) American guy. Widowed in 2020. Hebrew name for search purposes: משה וולפסון

New video of Yissachar Dov Rokeach (youtube link) seems like he's barely able to speak and looks a bit like he could drop dead any minute. (Still quite "young" however and I wouldn't be suprised if he's alive in two years)

New video of Moshe Wolfson (youtube link) shakes a lot, seems very frail.

Baadani has had it a month ago and will soon be discharged. 

 

Rinse and repeat.

Haim Drukman finally dead.

 

I just can't believe it.

Edit: Oh, and, Baruch Mordechai Ezrachi looks very frail now.

Logically shouldn't be alive as he was critical and in artificial coma after being resuscitated following a serious heart attack in November 2021. I expect if not everyone, nearly everyone on the list will be dead soon

Unsinkable Baruch Ezrachi's wife Shulamit has died.

Dov Lando (1930) Leader of the Slabodka yeshiva institution. Fall in 2018, survived covid (omicron) in January 2022. Obese.

Dov Lando again ill with covid for the 90th time and couldn't attend Baruch Mordechai Ezrachi's wife's memorial thing. He looks ancient as hell nowadays. Yaakov Aryeh Alter and others from the list were there but none of them looked particularly frail, all of them just looked like they probably fell asleep after the pictures were taken.

Shimon Baadani finally dead.

[arghton 6,118]

Finally.

 

From the Israel Times article:

In 2006, Baadani explicitly blamed former prime minister Ariel Sharon’s debilitating stroke on the fact that the premier had partnered with the secular Shinui party. In the same speech, Baadani said anyone who didn’t vote for Shas would go to hell.

Canada orthodox rabbi Erwin Schild celebrates 103rd. Article describes him as "frail and tethered to an oxygen machine" but still sharp, I don't know what his main illness is but as far as I know he's been on oxygen for atleast 7 years.

Ultraorthodox Charedi Council leader Moshe Sternbuch (the obese 97-year-old who had a pacemaker implanted last year) visits another rabbi who's "recovering from illness" (Sanz dynasty rebbe Zvi Elimelech Halberstam, 71, apparently being treated at home now, not mentioned what his illness is, but he had hypoxia due to covid in 2020):

[arghton 6,118]

Major ultraorthodox rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch, 86, in serious condition in intensive care, Dov Lando and Gershon Edelstein write that he's "suffering greatly and needs the mercy of heaven". He's suffered from some illness, likely terminal, for around two months now and was also hospitalised and in ICU ten days ago and has been undergoing normal treatments related to that illness for a bit over two months.

That was a bit exaggerated...

 

Moshe Hirsch discharged and in good conditions.
