I know that this is completely off-topic and a radical departure from this usually light blog, but it is really hard for me to post anything with levity tonight when such heaviness is hanging over the world.

Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg, the beloved directors of Chabad-Lubavitch of Mumbai, were killed during one of the worst terrorist attacks to strike India in recent memory.

Their child survived the attack, witnessing the slaughter of his parents; when the Mother was slaughtered while holding the child, she fell over, covering the child who subsequently crawled away and was rescued by an Indian nannycook at the Chabad center. The child is exactly two years old tomorrow (Saturday). Ironically, the child's name is Moses ( Moshe ).
