Tell me how do we say goodbye to the angels that have fallen from our life. And how do we say goodbye to the angels that have flown away at night…

This song was composed in memory of Gabi & Rivki Holtzberg who were cruelly murdered at their Mumbai Chabad House.

Lyrics:

She closed her eyes
He wiped her tears
He said Shema
It calmed his fears

He held her hand
Said it’d be alright
Knowing well they both could lose their life

And as my world watched it on the screen
We hoped and prayed and prayed again
That it would be a silent dream
But the dawn ushered in an unfamiliar light
The worst was heard confirmed

Now I cry to you, I lean on you,
my fellow Jew I ask of you

Chorus:
Tell me how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have fallen from our life
And how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have flown away at night

3500 siblings asking why
An orphan’s forced to cry
Mommy, Totty hold my hand
One day I pray you’ll understand
The cowardly lion is not the king of the land.
But the question remains, I ask

Chorus:
Tell me how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have fallen from our life
And how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have flown away at night

Don’t judge me when I mourn
Today it’s me who’s torn
Don’t look at me
My tears are falling fast

They say it’s all a blessing in disguise
I can’t differentiate the lies from truth
What’s a mind to do

We were the super heros of the night
We would illuminate the sky
They took away the torch but not your flame
What’s my mind to do
I will never forget you
I will light the sky from here to Mumbai
And nothing will ever look the same

Chorus:
Tell me how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have fallen from our life
And how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have flown away at night

Chassidim Never say goodbye
We want Moshiach Now

Mobai's message
We refuse to lower our selves to the level of the enemy, to hate. We look for ways to do His will, and there is no room for us, no time for us to be the mirror image of the Enemy, but to continue to love, to do the Will of HaShem.
This is the strength of the Jewish People.
Only, give me time to mourn.

Fallen Angels
Those angels watching over us..


departed for Heaven in a surreal bus...


they are atching us,

they died for the sake of the Name..


and we rekindle their flame in prayer and remembrance...

we once again commence,....

we need to recompense..

for the sake of The Name,

For the sake of the flame...
