Toulouse Terror Victim Named for Mumbai Terror Victim
Gabi Sandler, named for Gabriel Holtzberg
Toulouse, France - On what would have been the tenth wedding anniversary of Gavriel and Rivky Holzberg, the Chabad shluchim who were murdered in the Mumbai terror attacks just over three years ago, comes the chilling news that Gavriel Sandler, the three year old boy murdered in Toulouse school shooting on Monday had been named in memory slain shaliach Gavriel Holzberg.
According to reports in Arutz Sheva, Rivky Holzberg’s father, R’ Shimon Rosenberg, said that he relived the horrors of Mumbai after hearing of the brutal murders in France Monday morning.
‘This is a difficult day for Jews everywhere,’ said R’ Rosenberg. ‘I feel the pain of the families of those who were gunned down, the Jews of France and the entire Jewish people. This act of cold blooded murder took me back to the murder of my children. I spoke to one of the members of the Sandler family yesterday who told me that their Gavriel had been named in memory of my son in law, which makes me feel as if we are now family.’
