Large Terrorist Operation in Mumbai
by Eric on November 27, 2008
The latest numbers show over 120 dead and indicate that many Jews were included. The terrorists took control of multiple hotels and other large buildings. Included was the home of Chabad. Israelis and Jews were specifically targeted.
The carnage is widespread. There are still hostages at Chabad at this moment according to Fox News. I received this letter from my friend Rabbi Yisrael Wilhelm of Chabad at the University of Colorado:
Please say a prayer, and give Tzedaka (charity) for those in Mumbai, India who are in danger including my friend, the Rabbi of
Chabad of Mumbai and his family, the Israeli tourists and all the good people of Mumbai, India.
Terrorists have attacked tourist sites in Bombay including the “Nariman House” which houses the Mumbai Chabad Center, which, of course, is a place where Jews from across the world visit.
Please have in mind Gavriel Noach Ben Freida Bluma, Rivkah Bas Yehudis, Rabbi & Rebbitzin Holtzberg, who are unaccounted for at this time.
May Hashem answer our prayers and I will share good news when I have it.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Yisroel Wilhelm
