With extreme sadness that we report the passing of Dov Ber Holtzberg OBM, son of kedoshim, the Rebbe's Shluchim to Bombay Rabbi Gavriel Noach and Rivky Holtzberg HYD, at the young age of 4 years old. Dov Ber's passing comes just one day before his family concludes the shloshim period of mourning for his martyred parents, making this a double tragedy for the family and indeed all Anash.

He was buried Tuesday morning next to his parents and older brother, who also died of the same disease two years ago. Dov had been living in a long-term care facility in Jerusalem.
