Thousands Gather to Mark Anniversary of Mumbai Chabad House Terror Attack

Article: Jpost. Photos: Israel Bardugo for CrownHeights.info

Chabad held a memorial dinner on Wednesday in honor of Rabbi Gavriel Holzberg and his wife Rivka, who were killed when terrorists raided the Chabad house in Mumbai a year ago on the Hebrew calendar.

A crowd of well over 2,000 guests filled a massive tent in Kfar Chabad set up outside the replica of the Rebbe’s house in Brooklyn. A service manager said over 100 people worked the event, including at least 80 waiters. Organizers said the demand for tickets was “enormous” and that thousands of people who wanted to attend were turned away.

Few will look beyond the word “guilty” and the seeming enormity of 86 counts to see whether Rubashkin actually committed acts that deserve criminal condemnation and imprisonment.
