Moshe

This tragic story makes me think of Moses saved from the Nile - the hotbed of idolatry and ego - by one of those whose culture's pathway was idolatrous and antithetical to Torah. In this case, the righteous woman who saved little Moshelah's life, was no doubt from a similar idolatrous culture yet rose above and saved this gorgeous child.

May they both be blessed with a long life, and much success in everything they turn their hands to.

Sorry

As a Bombayite, I do not have words to describe the sadness I feel at the death of this wonderful young couple who had made my city as their adopted home. Even though I didn't know them or had never heard of them before the attacks, I feel as though I have lost one of my own. My thoughts and prayers go out to little Moshe. He is of the same age as my daughter and I hope he visits Bombay again once when he grows up. And I also hope that he does not harbour any ill feelings towards my city. We are very ashamed that the "City of Dreams" shattered his childhood dreams.

Mombai

This incredible story shows the highest degree of kindness, spirituality,and love, and the lowest kind of human behavior. I pray that the world will learn how the Rabbi, his wife and their followers gave so much positive to their community. I can't understand why events like these occur. God must have some plan for Moshe.
