(IsraelNN.com) A year has passed since the massacre at Chabad House in Mumbai. A memorial ceremony is being held at Kfar Chabad.

On November 26, 2008 (28 Cheshvan 5769), terrorists took over the Chabad House in Mumbai, India, where they murdered Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, 29; Rebbetzin Rivka Holtzberg, 28; Bentzion Kruman, 26; Rabbi Leibish Teitelbaum, 37; Yocheved Orpaz, 62; Norma Shvarzblat Rabinovich, 50.

The massacre was one of more than ten coordinated shooting and bombing attacks across Mumbai which lasted until November 29, killing at least 173 people and wounding at least 308.

Israel National TV will be carrying a live video broadcast from memorial ceremony.

PS: For those wondering why we are remembering the massacre now and not November 26 is because it is according to the Jewish calendar that one year has passed, and Jews mark the anniversary of death according to the Jewish calendar. 28 Cheshvan was last Sunday.

Bentzion Chroman happens to be my mom's best friend's relative. There was memorial here in Toronto a few days ago. I had class but my mom and her friends went. I think that big Rav from Pittsburgh spoke.

Hashem Yikom Damam. 

I had the zechut to meet some very special people who had a close relationship with the Holtzberg family in Mumbai.  The victims are sorely missed.  And the scum who did this deserve the worst punishment.
