Even after living in Israel for 9 months, these are the first people that I know first hand that have been murdered in a terrorist attack. The thought that people could be killed without doing anything to deserve it, really makes the world seem insane at first, but then I remind myself that the only way to not let "them" win, is to do an extra act of good and bring a little more light into the world to prove that we are stronger in spirit.

This picture is from Elise Mellinger. She was Rabbi Gavi and Rivki's first Shabbat guest in Mumbai. Elise had many wonderful experiences with the Holtzbergs and expected to have many more. The picture I believe is from Purim:
This picture is from my friend Gila. She spent Hanukkah 2007 in Mumbai.

I spent 4 months in Mumbai in 2005. This is when I first met Rabbi Gabi and Rivka Holtzberg. I have only a few photos from my experience with him. Here they are:

During my visit, Rabbi Gavriel was the sole person responsible for providing all the kosher chicken in India. I went with him one time, and just to get to the chicken farm - we took a fairy from the mainland to Alibagh Island...
Rabbi Gabriel at the Chicken Farm below. When we went - we were preparing 200 to 300 chicken, which would last about 2 weeks (during the off-season) for Jewish travelers to eat for free every night.
