ChaBaD Jewish Calendar Monday, November 13, 2023 29 Cheshvan, 5784 Torah Reading Toldot: Genesis 25:19 - 26:5 Jewish History Mumbai Terror Attacks (2008) The city of Mumbai, India, was hit with a series of coordinated terror attacks, starting on Wednesday evening, the 29th of Cheshvan 5769, which left close to 200 dead and scores more injured. One of the terrorists' chosen targets was the local Chabad House, known as the "Nariman House," operated by Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries Rabbi Gavriel Noach (Gabi) and Rivkah (Rivki) Holtzberg. In the subsequent standoff, which continued until Friday afternoon, Gabi and Rivki and several other Jews in the Chabad House – Rabbis Bentzion Chroman and Leibish Teitelbaum, Norma Schwartzblatt-Rabinowitz and Yocheved Orpaz – were killed in cold blood. May G‑d avenge their murders. Miraculously, the Holtzbergs' two-year-old child, Moshe, was saved by his nanny. Link: Mumbai Terror Attacks Laws and Customs Omit Tachanun in the Afternoo...
