As soon as the news broke of the Mumbai terror attacks, YWN contacted Chabad officials to inquire if the local Shaliach was assisting in rescue efforts - as is the case when tragedies occur across the globe. We also inquired if there were any Jews R"L killed and/or injured.
"We will get back to you ass soon as we reach the Shaliach", was the response.
Several hours have passed, and the local Chabad Shliach, Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, and his wife Rivka cannot be located.�Numerous attempts to locate him have failed.
According to some reports,�one of the bombs was detonated near the Chabad House located on 5 Hormusji Street - Nariman House in Mumbai's Colaba area. Another Chabad official told YWN that there are unconfirmed reports that the Chabad House was "taken-over by the terrorists".
"We are working closely with the American and Israeli Government's to try and get credible information".
"We are waiting for them to contact us," the anxious mother-in-law of the Shliach, Mrs. Yehudis Rosenberg told a Chabad website. "It's possible that the phone system in the country crashed - which is a frequent occurrence there."
The Tzibur is requested to say Tehillim for Gavriel Noach ben Freida Bluma, and Rivka bas Yehudis.
[Numerous locations were attacked�by gunfire and bombs - injuring close to 1000 and killing 80.]�
