Awesome. These are my favorite kind of people. They are an inspiration.
G-d bless you and yours.
Hashem promised us 70 nations that His firstborn will be a light to all nations. Time and again we have proven ourselves to be unworthy of such a blessing.
Yet according to G-d's commandment this chosen nation has reached out to bring us to the 7 noahide laws. May G-d forgive us for all the harm we have done to His first born. blessings.
Is the Levaya on Monday or Tuesday?
It seems it will be on Tuesday!
Tuesday, I didn't mention the day which was indeed confusing. Thanks for clarifying Neshama.
This boy is clearly mourning. I see his face - this is the face of *Where is my ima?* *Where is my aba?* Where? Where? Where?
Oy - Aba SheBashayim - please have mercy on this child, his family and the greater family of Israel to endure and to see the wisdom in all of this.
Where did you get the information that the grandparents will be returning to India with the little boy? I have, so far, seen it ONLY on your blog. Please do make sure this is accurate. I have great respect for this blog... please verify this info. Thank you!!!
Rachel - it was published on a Chabad news website. Directly from the grandfather's words at the funeral, it was either misinterpreted or mispublished.
Rather, the statement should be the grandparents will ensure the Chabad house will be rebuilt, will fill in to get it back up and running, and will ensure it will be turned over to Moshe when he's of age to return there as the Shaliach.
Please do not let Moshe return there. For what? He should stay in Israel, I prey he will have a beautiful and lng life with no suffering. He suffered too much already, it is unbereable only to think what happened to him. Hashem keep an eye on that boy, give him strenght, luck and a beautiful and long life, and make him overcome quickly what happened to his parents.
