Rabbi Holtzberg, wife killed in Mumbai terror attack

The Chabad-Lubavitch movement has confirmed that a New York rabbi and his wife are among the dead in the India terrorist attack.

A spokesman, Rabbi Zalman Schmotkin, said Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka, have been killed in Mumbai. They ran the movement's local headquarters, which was one of 10 sites attacked.

The couple's toddler son, Moshe Holtzberg, [see other posts] was taken out of the center by an employee, and is now with his grandparents.

This really breaks my heart. May the child Moshe know only goodness for the rest of his days.
