A Hebrew book entitled “How to Protect Yourself if Terrorists Come to Your House” was found on Gavriel Holtzberg's bedside table after the siege of the Jewish prayer centre he ran, Dov Goldberg said.

The Morristown seminary is a main training ground for the Chabad shluchim, or emissaries, who are dispatched around the world to open outreach centers in places ranging from comfortable suburbs to developing cities like Mumbai.
