Mourning in Jerusalem

The six Jews killed in the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India last week were buried today in Israel:

Amid heart-rending scenes, thousands of tearful Israeli mourners on Tuesday bid an emotional farewell to the six Jews killed in the Mumbai terror attacks, including the parents of the two-year-old orphan Moshe who was rescued by his Indian nanny from the clutches of terrorists.

“Moshe, you don’t have a father and a mother to hold you in their arms . . . no parents to hug and kiss you,” Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky said as mourners dressed in black chanted hymns with tears rolling down their eyes.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by these brutal and selfish acts.
