Mumbai: Two-year-old Moshe, who lost his
parents in the 26/11 strike at Nariman House last year, is not
expected to come from Israel to attend a memorial service
planned at the Jewish guest house on the eve of the first
anniversary of the dastardly attacks.
However, his grandparents would be here to pay homage
to the victims.
Eight people were gunned down by terrorists in the
attack on Nariman House in south Mumbai.
"Moshe`s grandparents will be here at Nariman House
during the first anniversary of the 26/11 attacks for the
memorial service but baby Moshe would not come," said Rabbi
Avraham Berkowitz, director of the Chabad Mumbai Relief Fund.
The Rabbi said a series of events have been planned on
the eve of the first anniversary of terror attacks.
Moshe`s parents, Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and Rivka,
who were running the Jewish Chabad House, were among those who
were killed by two terrorists during the terror attack.
Moshe was rescued by his nanny Sandra Samuel and cook
Qazi Zakir Hussain from the clutches of the terrorists.
Rabbi Avraham praised the efforts of nanny Samuel,
saying, "she had displayed a brave and commendable act of
humanity by saving baby Moshe.
"We will also hold a memorial service on November 25
at a synagogue in Kalaghoda which will be organised by the
local Jewish community," Berkowitz said.
Rabbi Avraham, along with other religious leaders,
today lit a candle at Nariman House to pay homage to the
victims.
He expressed gratitude to the Central and state
governments for extending their support to rebuild the
Nariman House.
