A 17-year-old yeshiva bochur is in serious condition after collapsing Sunday night inside a Chabad yeshiva on Hasam Street in Rehovot.

Emergency responders arrived to find the teen unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing. After sustained resuscitation efforts, medical teams succeeded in restoring the teenager’s heartbeat, according to reports.

United Hatzalah volunteers Yonatan Sharabi, Katriel Cohen, and Ayala Yitzhaki, who responded to the emergency, said they found the bochur completely unconscious upon arrival and worked alongside additional emergency personnel to stabilize him.

Following initial treatment at the scene, Magen David Adom paramedics transported him by mobile intensive care unit to the trauma department at Kaplan Medical Center in Rehovot. Resuscitation efforts continued during the transport.

The teen remains in serious condition.
