Little Moshe Begins First Year of School

Moshe Holtzberg joined some two million Israeli children today as he attended his first day of Grade One. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke with Moshe; he wished Moshe well and said that the prayers of the entire Jewish people are with him.

“Little Moshe” as he has become affectionately known, is the son of Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg, who were tragically slain in the 2008 terror attack on the Chabad Center in Mumbai, India.

Moshe was miraculously saved by his nanny, and is now being raised by his grandparents in Israel.

    To this day this tragedy can move me to tears. And I have no connection to the family, other than that we are Lubavitchers. It is so painful.

  • I agree with #3

    Seriously! He may be an orphan but he’s a healthy/happy kid. Stop always following the paparazzi around him and let him live a normal life. He doesn’t deserve it

    Will you photographers do nothing to get at a scoop? Why must this child be constantly reminded of his tragedy-rooted celebrity status? :(

  • I agree with # 3!

    Stop the harassment of this child, if you ever want this child tro grow up normal.

  • my 2 cents

    Let him live life as a normal child. Always being reminded that he is different I don’t think is so healthy.
