#onthisday, 2008, 10 terrorists from Pakistan struck Mumbai, India- unleashing terror across the city over the next 4 days. One of their targets was the Nariman House, Mumbai’s Chabad House. Amongst the 174+ murdered during the attacks were Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, his pregnant wife Rivkah, and 4 Jewish hostages stuck inside the Chabad House.

We remember their lives in blessing and continually pray that nothing of the sort ever occurs again.
