Comments on: My Heroic Friends Rivky and Gabi Holtzberg http://www.jewlicious.com/2008/12/my-heroic-friends-rivky-and-gabi-holtzberg/ It's a Jewish Blog! Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:17:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: RL http://www.jewlicious.com/2008/12/my-heroic-friends-rivky-and-gabi-holtzberg/#comment-1276333 RL Tue, 24 Mar 2009 05:52:38 +0000 http://www.jewlicious.com/?p=6315#comment-1276333 I just keep on crying, reading your article and others, thinking about how amazing these people were and how this small child has been left traumatized and bereft of both his parents. it makes me sad, outraged! I once heard that many times G-d chooses to take away the extraordinary people from this world, to shake the world into improving their deeds on behalf of the lost ones. it makes the impact of what they did for the world all the greater and motivates us to continue their mission. this serves as somewhat of a compensation, but its not nearly enough to stop these tears, this gnawing pain inside at losing such a fundamental limb of our nation.

The thing is I have been to dozens of Chabad Houses where Rabbis and Rabineets such as Gabi and Rivky have welcomed me hundreds of hundreds of times each. Yeah, I am a Chabadnik by education at least...but still I see the faces of the two ladys pictured above reminding me of the many who like them have Chabad Houses and the nightmare of the events there and think of the VIOLATION that took place. Worse then the Tishba Av Kadshay Kadoshim. The lady there being targeted and ... for what? Ad Motaiy? How many Karbonot...? Not just How many but these...How can we stand this? I heard plans on rebuilding. I hope we send more ppl there.

I have learned more about the awesomeness of the Holtzbergs from Non-Chabad sources then the Chabad ones... Yet I feel a need to vent this: Apparently Rivkah, May her name be Remembered...., was 5 months pregnant at the time. Additionally it was also discovered from apparent evidense that the terrorists did their familiar tactic of drugging themselves for combat. Each time I hear of the ever more extreme desperation and heinousness of our enemies, I ask myself, "How low will these desperados go till they stop? The hatefull enemies that perpetuate these crimes just keep on reaching ever more new lows." I hope the Indians will treat these lifeless wretches with the appropriate justice. Everybody I know that has the self esteem to live is just sick of this.... The trouble is these mushuganers are taught not to value life itself. From what I understand that is their open philosophy. I think they are going to get what they want... The Indians may be providing this fulfillment...

Thank you for your article. Simply amazing what they did over here. Sad that they died so horridly in my city. They that could not harm a soul will be avenged. Such a terrible crime cannot go unpunished. I only hope that Chabad will continue in their task with dauntless courage and not be changed by what has happened here.

Rivky and Gabi seemed like rare, wonderful people. It is obvious by the lives they touched, that their families do not grieve alone. Thank you for sharing this.
