The 12th yahrzeit of Gabi and Rivky Holtzberg hy”d, the shluchim in Mumbai who were murdered by terrorists, was marked by their families in a small ceremony on Tuesday.
Tuesday marked the 12th anniversary of the horrific terror attacks in Mumbai, India during which at least 174 people lost their lives. The terrorist also attacked the Mumbai Chabad House, killing the Holtzbergs and four guests.
Their son, Moshe Holtzberg, was miraculously saved from the carnage by his nanny Sandra Samuel, just days before his second birthday.
On Tuesday, Moshe, who turned 14 the next day, went to the kevarim of his parents to mark their yahrtzeit, together with his grandparents and other relatives, and recited Kaddish.
Earlier that week, a special Tanya printing was held in Afula’s iconic 770, also named Beis Gabi V’Rivki to mark the yahrzeit.
