A New York Rabbi and his wife were two of the victims in the recent attacks in Mumbai, India. Their bodies were found when the India Jewish Center was stormed by commandos. “Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and his wife Rivka” were two of the five deceased hostages inside the Center. The other three were unnamed as of this writing.
Reports, as of this writing, state that 24 bodies had been found in the Oberoi hotel. Approximately 400 individuals had been brought out from the Taj hotel.
You can read the entire horrific and devastating story, here. This is such sadness and unbearable news for all of the family members of the victims. My thoughts go out to each and every one of them.
May all the deceased victims’ memories be for a Loving Blessing.

Jew Wishes…Peace to you all.
