CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — While people around the world were participating and watching the funeral of Mumbai Shluchim, a Bris took place in Bais Shmuel Shul. The parents Levi and Rivky Wilhelm gave their child the name Gavriel Noach Chaim. The newborn will be the first to be named after slain Rabbi, Gavriel Noach Holtzberg HYD, who was murdered in India last week.
This is the second child born this week to be named after one of the slain Shluchim. In Chabad of Atlanta, Georgia, one of the Baalei Batim named his daughter on Shabbos Rivkah Chayah, after the Shlucha Rivky Holtzberg HYD.

Its very appropriate. and may levi and Rivky have much ydishe and chasidishe nachas from the new born and the rest of their children.
Just curious

yoyo
no, she’s not related, and i would have done the same thing.
Being that we’re chasidim ein mishpucho, this story has been followed by every lubavitcher, they wre great role models, and as such, I would have done the same, without a blink of an eye.

MAZAL TOV! :) HAPPINESS!!!
