Modi visits victim of 2008 terror attack on Mumbai’s Chabad House

Visiting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is meeting this afternoon with Moshe Holtzberg, the now 12-year-old son of two Chabad emissaries, Rabbi Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg, who were killed in a November 2008 terror attack in Mumbai.

The attack on the Indian city’s Chabad House was part of a mass attack in the city by a Pakistani Islamist group that left 166 dead and hundreds injured. In addition to the Holtzbergs, four other Jewish visitors to the Chabad House were killed in the attack.

Modi is visiting Israel for a three-day trip in a “historic” and “groundbreaking” effort to deepen ties between the two countries.
