No Survivors

Inside the Chabad House


B"H

It goes without saying that the entire Israeli press is referring to the terror victims in India today. Besides all the new Kassam rocket attacks caused by the Hamas in Gaza where several Israeli soldiers were injured. One of them severely, as he lost a leg.
However, the main subject is "Mumbai".

Last night is was official:

No survivors in the Chabad House.

Right after the announcement of the terror attack in Mumbai, Israel sent a ZAKA delegation to India.ZAKA is an Israel haredi volunteers organization for the halachic identification of Jewish bodies. In other words, ZAKA identifies Jewish bodies and, if necessary, collects all the body parts and ensures a funeral according to Halacha.

Among the people murdered is not only the Chabad couple Rivak and Rabbi Gabriel Holzberg but also, among others, a son - in - law of the Toldot Avraham Yitzchak Rebbe, Rabbi Aryeh Leibusch Teitelbaum (38).

Rabbi Teitelbaum was visiting India, as he was checking kosher food.

In an interview given last night, Chabad announced that it will keep its institutions all over the world open to any Jew. No one intends to close down everything due to the killings in Mumbai.

The funeral for the Holzberg family is going to take place in Kfar Chabad (Israel) tomorrow (Monday).

Israel is in shock. Again we became aware of how easy it is to attack Israelis abroad and that Israelis as a whole are a terrorist target. Furthermore it was shown us once again that such a "Mega Attack" could also take place in our own country.
