Shabbat’s usual rest and joy was, of course, overshadowed by the tragedy of the horrific terrorism in Mumbai. As of the writing of this email, at least 195 are dead and hundreds injured. The mourners are only just beginning to be able to be aware that their loved one is (or horribly in some cases loved ones are) dead.

Terrorism Tragedy in Mumbai

The news out of Mumbai, India, continues to be devastating. Sustained two days of terror attacks on the diverse people living in & visiting Mumbai. All accounts suggest that this terrorist attack has been long-planned and researched, resulting in the terrorists seeming to have the upper hand. My thoughts and prayers all with all people impacted by this terror attack.

A few news reports on the attack:

CNN site on the attacks

I’ve just heard on CNN that no one (except the youngest child of the Rabbi and his wife who escaped with his nanny earlier in the crisis) survived in the Chabad center. Baruch dayan ha-emet. May G-d care for their souls and be with their families.
