Special prayers on the occasion of ‘Hanukkah’, the Jewish festival of lights, were conducted at the Gateway of India on Thursday (Dec 25), to pay tributes to victims of November 26 Mumbai terror strikes.
A menorah was also lit and speakers condemned the terror attacks. Grandparents of Moshe Holtzberg, the two-year-old son of Rabbi Gabriel Holtzberg and Rivika, killed during the three-day terror siege last month, were among over 50 members of the Jewish community who prayed for the victims.
Moshe was saved by his 44-year-old nanny Sandra Samuel after terrorists stormed into the Nariman House and killed all the occupants, including his parents. The nanny accompanied Moshe with his grandparents and bodies of his parents to Israel.
Prayers in memory of the victims was also scheduled to be held at the Gateway of India.
