Murdered Chabad Family Burried in Jerusalem

by Eric on December 2, 2008

Rabbi Gavriel Noach and Rivka Holtzberg were buried in Jerusalem today after a memorial in Kfar Chabad near Tel Aviv.

The two were murdered in the India terrorist attacks last week in Mumbai. Thousands of Chabad-Lubavitch Chassidim gathered to pay respects to the family, who were killed while living in Mumbai as part of Chabad’s international Jewish movement.

Their son, Moshe, is two and was saved by his Indian nanny. She accompanied the boy to Israel. The Chabad movement has pledged to take care of the boy.

The other four Jewish victims of terror at the Chabad House were also buried in Israel.
