Six Jewish lives were snuffed out when terrorists stormed the Chabad Jewish Center and Chabad House known as the Nariman House in India’s financial capitol, Mumbai. Terrorists stormed the building and for days held it siege, and viciously murdering everyone inside.
Clockwise from the top: Rabbi Gavirel and his wife Rivkah Holtzberg, the Shluchim that ran the Chabad House, Rabbi Aryeh Leibush Teitelbaum, Norma Schwartzberg Rabinowitz, Yochved Orpaz and Rabbi Ben Tzion Korman.
May G-d Avenge their Blood

Critique from Love
I am very glad to see some attention being given to the other victims of this horrible tragedy. In the community that I live, the shluchim hav never mentioned other victims, but only focuses on the mumbai shluchim (who were no doubt holy and special yidden). Honestly, this single-minded focus on the “elite troops” by these shluchim and others across the world is coming off as self-promoting at best and myopic elitism at worst. The Chassidic movement fought against false hierarchy in its early stages and now the very thing it fought against it is promoting.
I also feel that the Rebbe’s message is totally lost in all of this. The idea of being a shaliach and dira batachtonim is not only for the “elite troops”, the merkos shluchim, but for every single man, woman, or child. We are ALL shluchim.
Shluchim act as if they are the only ones, since they are full time Rabbis, that can understand living a life for larger principles (like the Rebbe’s teachings).Many of us work hard to raise our kids correctly, give tzedaka, and try to affect the world around us.
I am not addressing this to the shluchim that were murdered, but it seems to me that as shluchim talk about the mesoras nefesh of shlichus, which they are automatically by default talking about themselves, they are closed mindlessly forgetting something absolutely true: Being a shaliach is the most prestigious position in modern lubavitch. It carries many benefits and perks and in their inner circle, they are part of the “cool kids” amongst the rest of us.
These people who were murdered were all equally holy. Two were rabbonim, making the kashrus more available in the world. I am not sure of the other people’s stories, but they had a purpose and meaning in life too.
It saddens me greatly that some shluchim are capitalizing on this terrible situation to further their own sense of self and draw more distinctions between Jews. No Jew is greater than another and no one community’s loss is greater than anothers’.
All I hear about in the press about Chabad (fed from the in house spokespeople) is about “centers”, “Rabbis”, “out reach”
This is the time we can tell the world about the Rebbe and about moshiach, but I don’t hear this at all.
The bigger picture to me is not the fact that the colleagues of shluchim were killed. It is that those yidden who were killed could have been anyone of us–we are all colleagues!! The whole Jewish nation was targeted!!

His last Shabbos in Eretz Yisrael was spend in Bet Shemesh together with his father-in-law the Toldos Avraham Yitzchak Rebbe Shlita. At the tisch, the Rebbe gave him a long gaze, finally signaling him to start a nigun. He started a Chabad nigun, “L’Elok-kim domi nafshi ki elecha tikvasi”.
Rav Aryeh Leibish is survived by his rebbitzin, 8 children, the oldest of which celebrated his bar mitzvah about six months ago. The youngest is 10 months.

Re Admosai:
I think it is a great idea to ask everyone to show achdus, but it would be way more effetive if the ” words are accompanied by a positive action- tzedakah. – (remember Hamaiseh hu ha ikur)
chazak!
ad mosai
Ok, I say this at the risk of being bashed, but just how exactly does everyone saying the words Ad Mosai help??? We can say it, but is that what will really bring Moshiach? What we should be doing is all trying to do a good deed at the same time, perhaps flooding the heavens with mitzvos will bring Moshiach. Saying Ad Mosai is not a Mitzvah.
Sad! :(
Hashem what did you do? this hole story is really really sad!
a nof no more bad stuff! that’s it no more.
