    In a recent article by AP (Associated press), they report that a woman which was released said that she saw the Rabbi & his wife lying unconscious. “The Rabbi’s son was released unharmed. his clothe’s were full of blood”

    Ditto on “Say Tehillim”’s comment. Today’s Hayom Yom just fits the bill. Additionally, we have to strengthen our bitachon – our belief that no harm can come to Shluchim of the Rebbe! “haboteach baHashem, Chessed yisovivenoh” – When we have Bitachon, the situation turns into one of chessed. How we think affects reality! May we only hear good news. Moshiach Now!

    d lichtenstein Says: I was in Mumbai this year on business. A city from Dante’s hell, fulthy and crowded beyond a westerners nightmares. There is no kosher food or minyan in Mumbai, so i went to the Chabad house. They have 3 minyanim a day and after every meal the shaliach and his wife serve meals. There are 20 to 50 people eating there per meal, mostly traveling Israelis and businessmen, many frei. I asked Rabbi Holtzberg “where do you get the food from?” He replied “I shecht 100 chickens a week to serve 400 fleishig meals, and my wife cleans them. Sincve theres no pas yisroel here my wife bakes bread . (for about 800 people per week) every bit of food is home made.”
    They ask for no money and charge nothing. By every meal he says a dvar torah, to inspire the orchim. Avraham Avinu would be proud of Rabbi Holtzberg
    May hashem who rescued Avraham from Nimrod’s furnace save the shaliach and his family
