Auerbach collapsed in his room in the yeshiva building. A team of doctors have been called to the site will carry out CPR operations.

The rabbi led the ultra-Orthodox protests against the mandatory draft in Israel, and many of his followers immediately gathered at the end of the Sabbath at his Maalot HaTorah yeshiva.
