Hashem Yikom Damam – The Murder Victims of the Terror in the Chabad House in Mumbai

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

Boruch Dayan Hoemes – Shluchim Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg OBM

Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg, the beloved directors of Chabad-Lubavitch of Mumbai, were killed during one of the worst terrorist attacks to strike India in recent memory.

Jewish communities around the world reacted with shock to the loss of the couple, who were killed Thursday at their Chabad House during an apparent standoff between Indian military forces and terrorists.

Their toddler son, Moshe, managed to escape with his nanny some hours before Indian commandos stormed their building, known as the Nariman House, in the popular touristy neighborhood of Colaba. The Associated Press reported that the boy was unharmed, but was wearing blood-soaked pants.

Levaya information will be posted as soon as it becomes available.

Boruch Dayan Hoemes.
