Shteinman has been the de facto leader on issues of public importance to the Haredi community since the mid-1990s.
Rabbi Aharon Leib Shteinman was the long-time leader of the non-Hassidic Ashkenazi Haredi community.
The Rabbi was hospitalized on Saturday and rumors spread throughout the community about his condition during Shabbat.
For Hanna, this was a liberating moment that put an end to a period of suffering and uncertainty. Her husband was in a coma, and according to the doctors, were he to wake up and return to function as a husband it would be considered a “rare medical miracle.”
