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.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
