Moshe, a 2-year-old Jewish boy who watched his parents, Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and Rivka Holtzberg being shot down in cold blood in Bombay, India by Islamic terrorists cries out for his "ema" or mother at a memorial service in India.
Sandra Samuel, a nanny who worked at the Chabad House for years, rescued Moshe and is coming to Israel with his maternal grandparents, Yehudit and Shimon Rosenberg. They were reunited with their grandson when they arrived in Mumbai on Friday.
In Mumbai, India, Moshe, in a bright green T-shirt and blue shorts, was carried into a synagogue to attend a prayer meeting in memory of those murdered.
Holding a ball in hand, Moshe who was orphaned on the day of his birthday, November 28, kept looking around. As the prayers started, Moshe could be seen getting fidgety and ended up crying for his parents. "Ema, Aba," he cried.
As the synagogue echoed with prayers, the entire gathering was seen crying or fighting back tears.
This couple wasn't living in the West Bank. They weren't settlers. They weren't occupying anyone's land. They were killed because they were Jews.

there are no words Joel only pain to feel the pain of poor little Moshe and the grandparents later those that did this will pay - somehow - G-d bless Sandra Samuel; G-d bless those Indians who tried to protect Chabad House; G-d bless the staff at Taj Mahal Hotel who protected the guests. "I put before you life and death. Choose life."
