Mumbai: Two Year Old Moshe Holtzberg Cries: Eyfo Ema? Where's Mommy

Steve Schwager, the professional head of the Joint Distribution Committee, American Jewry's overseas relief organization, just sent out a description of the memorial service for those killed at the Chabad House. I reprint one paragraph which says it all.

This morning, an homage ceremony organized by the Israeli Consulate in Mumbai honored the memory of the slain before the bodies were flown back to Israel. Rebbetzin Holtzberg’s parents attended the service, which JDC’s Country Director in India, Antony Korenstein, described as “heartrending”. All eyes were on Moshe, Gavi and Rivki’s two-year-old son, who was heroically rescued from the Chabad House by his nanny during the siege. He kept repeating the chilling question, “Ima, Ima, eifo Ima?” (“Mommy, mommy…where’s mommy?”)
