Local Chabads Seek Ways to Remember Rabbi, Wife Killed in Mumbai Attacks
By Ben Rubin, The Journal News
As Chabad houses around the world mourned the deaths of a rabbi and his wife in Mumbai terrorist attacks, Chabads in the Lower Hudson Valley region planned their own ways of remembering the couple.
"Let us not end this with grief," said Rabbi Shmuel Gancz, of the Chabad of Suffern. "We're going to channel this. Our mission is not to fight with ammunition, our mission is to fight with light, to light the darkness."
Rabbi Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg were killed during a coordinated terrorist attack last Wednesday in India. They were among six who died in the Chabad attack, and 172 killed in the three-day assault.
As Chabads around the world are steeping up their outreach efforts, local Chabads are planning Sabbath candle-lightings, giving away challahs and holding memorials for the couple.
