Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and Rivkah Holtzbert

Rabbi Simcha Weinstein, one of my writing clients, is part of the same Chabad community in Brooklyn, where Gavriel Holtzberg grew up.

He tells me today via email that they are "rocked" by

the murder of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, 29 and his wife Rivkah, 28 in India:

His last known phone call was to the Israeli Consulate to report that gunmen were in his house. In the middle of the conversation, the line went dead.

 The Holtzbergs joined the more than 125 people who were killed in the Wednesday night through Friday attacks, which saw dozens of suspected Islamic terrorists come ashore in Mumbai near the Gateway of India monument. The terrorists, carrying assault rifles and grenades, quickly fanned out to a central train station, the Chabad House and other tourist locations, including several popular hotels.

 According to security services, the Chabad House was a pre-selected target.

Simcha tells me the Holtzberg's son, Moshe, who survived the attacks, will turn 2 tomorrow. He was unharmed but covered in blood after being secreted out of the building.
