| Chabad Mumbai Rebuilding Efforts |
| |
| MUMBAI, India - The Jewish center devastated in the Mumbai attacks will be quickly rebuilt, but with beefed up security, the rabbi sent to replace the center's slain leader said Tuesday. Chabad house was one of several place captured by suspected Islamic gunmen in the Nov. 26 attacks that killed 171 people. A commando assault ended the two-day siege of the center, but six people inside the building - all Jewish foreigners - were killed. |

"We are staying at the same center and will rebuild it even nicer than it was," said Rabbi Dov Goldberg, an Israeli who was sent by the ultra-Orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch movement, which ran the house.
Among those killed in the attack was American-Israeli Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka.
Goldberg said that while it was very difficult for him to replace Holtzberg, who he had worked under for a while in India, he was determined to carry out his mission.
"We will try and open it as soon as possible," Goldberg told The Associated Press. "Meanwhile, we will have it in a temporary place. Our activities will not stop even for one second."
