Eerie sight: Bullets riddle chapter in scriptures that allude to death of righteous people
What shocked and stunned Jewish searchers was that when they opened the Torah Scroll they saw that the bullets had hit and damaged precisely the words in Leviticus 16:1: "G-d spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron's two sons etc."

Israeli officials who were in Mumbai to assist in the transfer of the bodies of the Chabad emissaries in Mumbai Rabbi Gabriel and Rivka Holtzberg, later told Shturem.org that when they opened the Holy Ark that was damaged by bullet shots they found the Torah scroll inside riddled with bullets as well.
But what shocked and stunned Jewish searchers most was that when they opened the Torah Scroll they saw that the bullets had hit and damaged precisely the chapter in Leviticus 16:1: "G-d spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron's two sons etc."
This refers to Aaron's righteous sons Nadav and Abihu who, as we are told earlier in Leviticus 10:1-3, were consumed by a fire that came forth from G-d and Moses tells Aaron this is what G-d meant when he said "I will be sanctified through those who are close to Me."
Throughout the ages Jewish Sages would use this chapter to explain why righteous people die in unnatural deaths.
This Torah Scroll is now on its way to Israel together with Rabbi and Mrs. Holtzberg, who sanctified the Name of G-d and were close to Him.
