Shabbat with Gavriel & Rivkah Holtzberg ZT'L
Our friend Dr. Sherwin Isenberg, a member of Young Israel of Century City, spent Shabbat in Mumbai with Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg ZT'L, four days before the massacre. Sherwin is a internationally renowned Pediatric Ophthalmologist who does research to prevent childhood blindness in the far corners of the world.
In this video, he speaks at the memorial held at the Chabad Center in Los Angeles recalling his Shabbat in Mumbai with the Holtzberg's, and the special community of Jews who gathered around their Shabbat table. He ends his memorial with: May Their Blood be Avenged.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Dr. Isenberg's eulogy highlights what to me is the one brilliant shining light that this event illustrated-- the unbridgeable gulf that separates the gentle, peaceful Rabbi, who taught and represented love and kindness to man and even to animal, and the filthy jackals that tortured and killed him. I look forward to seeing their cohorts recieve what they deserve.
