Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg, the city’s envoy for the community, and his wife were among the dead in Chabad House, said Rabbi Zalman Shmotkin, a spokesman for Chabad-Lubavitch International in the United States.
-cnn
Moshiach is on his way……
Hashem, Help us!
A press comference will be given by Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, chairman of the Educational and Social Services arms of the Chabad-Lubavitch Movement at 12:30pm at the Jewish Children’s Museum, 792 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY.
Chabad.org has confirmed that the Shluchim have died. Baruch Dayan Emes
Are the shluchim american or israeli?
I hate to be negative but the confict at the Chabad House was over some time ago. If there was good news they would have released it by now. Long delays only means bad news. Usually to give the authoroties time to inform the families. We need a miracle NOW!
Have faith…. we’ll hear good news right before shabbas
They must be alive. We’ll see a miracle very soon
baruch dayan emes
Please refrain from saying such things.
Thank you.
So the Rabbi and Wife passed away?!?!?
5 hostages are killed
2 terorist killed
there is still fire in chabad house
they are in the 3rd floor
How shamefull the blog- vosiznieas.com screamed in their headline 12+ hours before that the Rabbi and wife was killed.
COL was extremley carefull of their words
This is too painful to bear!!!
CNN SAID ITS THE RABBIS FAMILY, BUT I THINK THEY ARE MISTAKEN SINCE THEY ARE SAYING ITS THE RABBI HIS WIFE AND 2 CHILDREN,BUT WE KNOW THAT MOISHE IS SAFE
DID THEY HAVE ANOTHER BABY??
do we know who are the 5 hostages who were killed?
The standstill is coming to an end at the chabad house, Hoefully the commandoes will coem out together with the rabbi and his wife and any others that have been held.
It is now 8:28 am NY time Friday morning – does anyone know what is happening?
ibn- live is still reporting thats its not over
which won is beter cnn or col i say cnn
Surely if someone was sent out – then they must have had even a 30 second conversation with him. Someone must know something and they’re not telling!
A Jewish man was sent out to get food. If he did not return in a certain time other hostages would be shot. The Police obtained food from a local resteraunt, and sent him back with in a few minutes.
For anyone still up. IBN just reported that that 4th and 5th floor of the Chabad house have been cleared. B”H we will have good news soon.
The conflicting reports is as follows:
the 4 bodies are the 4 “bodies” that the nanny saw while running out of the building. The 10 rescued people are the 7 people from the neighboring building, the nanny, the cook, and the baby! There is no confirmation of ANYTHING yet – zug tehillim un tracht gut!
I went to col hebrew, but I don’t understand hebrew, please explain what exactly was said
please let it be so!!!! let Rabbi and Mrs. Holtsberg be alive and well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think that report was from last night, but not true…
I just read on Shmais that in times like this the Rebbe said we must keep our thoughts positive.
This means that keeping our thought positive, along with our teffilos, we can assist in steering the course of events towards a positive outcome.
i am on cnn-ibn live and they are still to rescue them. unless i don’t understand? have they been rescued?
i just heard on ibnlive that they are still inside, i don’t see any substantiated reports that anyone has been rescued overnight
But IBN just said at 12:38 “At least 4 people are inside, including the Rabbi and his wife…”
Is this confirmed? What’s their condition?

Indian press: Shuchim Killed
The Indian newspaper “Economist Times” is reporting that Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, and his wife Rivka, have been killed in the Terrorist attack on the Chabad House in Mombai. The newspaper is considered credible, but let’s hope that the information is erroneous. According to the report, Rabbi Holtzberg and his wife were murdered by the terrorists. The terrorists, however, spared their two-year old son and a maid. Chabad.info has so far been unable to confirm the report, as there is no other source for this story

There is no kosher food or minyan in Mumbai, so i went to the Chabad house. They have 3 minyanim a day and after every meal the shaliach and his wife serve meals. There are 20 to 50 people eating there per meal, mostly traveling Israelis and businessmen, many frei. I asked Rabbi Holtzberg “where do you get the food from?” He replied “I shecht 100 chickens a week to serve 400 fleishig meals, and my wife… Read more »
It’s one thing that Shmais is 10 hours behind the news but you guys have been fresh ontop of it all the time. COL Israel site now reports that no one was freed. Can we get some updates?
(IsraelNN.com) Indian television reported Thursday night all the Israeli hostages were rescued Thursday night from the Nariman House building where Mumbai’s Chabad House is located. Indian commandos had entered the building, said the reporter, and were in the process of clearing the floors of terrorists as they went along.

A state official said the siege had ended at Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Palace hotel and the last three attackers were killed, while eight hostages were freed from the nearby headquarters of a Jewish outreach group. Explosions and gunshots still shook India’s financial capital almost 24 hours after the attacks by Muslim militants began. Authorities said 119 people died and 300 others were injured… Read more »
SOME OF THESE COMMENTS ARE SO ABSOLUTELY STUPID! IF YOU HAVE NOTHING OF VALUE TO SAY, DON’T SAY ANYTHING. WHOEVER CALLED THAT JERK A MORON ETC. WAS BEING NICE. THE FACT IS THAT THERE IS A SHLIACH IN GRAVE DANGER WHO WAS DOING WHAT HASHEM AND THE REBBE WANTED HIM TO DO AND IT’S NOT RIGHT THAT THIS SHOULD BE HIS REWARD! HASHEM HAS TO COME THROUGH FOR THE SAKE OF HIS FAMILY AND HIS YOUNG INNOCENT LITTLE FUTURE SHLIACH. TEHILLIM SHOULD BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY, AND PERHAPS SOME EXTRA TZEDAKAH.

Calling our constituency to say tehillim besides our own tehilim
Geula and yeshua for all hostages should be a kiddush hashem and kiddush lubavitch and an explanation to the world of the geual and the Rebbe MH”M’s power
In the words of the Rebbe we must pray .
” Now we know a G-d that is at once both beyond all things and within them. In truth, there is nothing else but him.”

I think, one way to help the shluchim there, is that we, all of Chabad, make a strong resolution not to be held as hostages by certain elements within Chabad. That we start to do what the Rebbe wants of us and that we make the resolution now, as I just did. I called up my staff the other shluchim and told them that enough of gulus is enough, and that now is the time to make good resolutions. We are going to do everything we can and follow all the Rebbe’s directives and not allow money and other foolishness… Read more »
Maybe there already is something that I’m unaware of, but if not, isn’t it possible to have an organized tehillim saying, to complete the entire tehillim, by people saying which perek or prukim they will say right now right here on this site, begging Hashem to save this family….Maybe we can even say it a few times….
sometime we give the name of the street to a house or the area but here whene its says nariman house we spoke about the beth habbad
For the nani they maybe let her go out because of the baby and because she is not israeli so …….
the soldier try to get into the house but they couldnt

RE #23: Sorry that was at arutzsheva.com
what’s foolish is to spend time discussing politics and calling each other “morons” and “shoites”. name calling and sinas chinam is certainly not going to help the situation when instead we could be davening and speading a little ahavas chinam which is certainly a wonderful zechus for the Rabbi and his wife to come out of this safely and unharmed
Just saw this on haaretz.com
Commando Operation a ‘Go’ at Mubai Chabad House
(IsraelNN.com) Indian media is reporting that Indian commandoes have begun an operation to save the hostages in the Chabad House in Mumbai. Exchanges of gunfire are being reported at this time.
The terror attack on the house was planned for dinner time, when Israeli and Jewish tourists were expected to be in the Chabad House.
you shoite,
first of all why are mixing in your stupidity in to this serious issue, secondly, what does this have to do with bush and as someone said before you sound like a muslim. and number 3, bush happens to be a good person and a good president and americans are selfish and unappreciative! he fought a war that had to be fought and backed by the country and then even when everybody gave in to preasure he was still focused to get the job done!!!
go report for cnn!
אחינו כל בית ישראל הנתונים בצרה ובשביה….המקום ירחם עליהם ויוציאם מצרה לרווחה, ומאפלה לאורה, ומשיעבוד לגאולה השתא בעגלא ובזמן קריב! אמן!!!!!
Someone please – something!?! I stood next to this shliach only 3 days ago. I know that because I heard him saying his name to someone – and then his location. And now this…?
Whichever idiot wrote the above comment about this being a Bush fiasco needs some serious psychological counseling. This happened in India, YOU MORON! Bush is NOT the President of India. He is the President of the US. Has the US been attacked since 9/11? No. Guess what? The War on Terror is working. Next time PLEASE do us all a favor and use your brain before commenting.
Thank you for keeping us updates
to #15, you sound like the muslims already blaming their inequities on other people
Earlyer, they had the boy and maid and cook taken to safety.
Noone knows of the shluchim, and now thay stopt the opration for a “wait and watch”.
What’s realy going on???
This sounds a bit scary, and needs more explenation.
Saying tihilim at the copmuter waiting to see good news
This horror is just another reminder to the helpless Bush administration.
War on terror? a party of terror!
