We have lost two beautiful young people today who were the light of the world. They were taken from us but their light will remain lit with us. Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg were among the most selfless and righteous people who just made a difference to others. We're all aggrieved today and we're sure G-d will avenge their blood in the time to come. And we also know as we mourn, that the greatest memorial to them is continue their work. This and more Chabad will do!
Well, “Redeemer” is the word used for the Lord G-d of Israel in the Hebrew Bible as well, the G-d who brought His people out of the land of Egypt. Christians take it as a reference to the Messiah, but that was its original meaning.
Anyway, I don’t want to get into Bible interpretation. I think that passage expresses the ultimate hope in times of seeming injustice and despair.
You forgot one:
Blow up the Al Asqa Mosque.
Amen and right on!

I’m not Jewish but I believe that the phrase “May God avenge their blood” is the only appropriate one at the moment.
Very tragic. Islam always seems to kill the good people first - people like this couple, priests saying Mass, nuns teaching - because Islam, unlike Judaism and Christianity, chooses death.
Prayers for these good people, and may life win.
My friend is a Pakistani living in Karachi, and one day while sitting on the steps inside his home, he saw a vision of Jesus. Jesus was standing there with a scroll in his hands, and he pointed to my friend, and said, “I have chosen you”. My friend was a Muslim, but he set out to find out “who is this Jesus?” Needless to say, he found a church and was converted to know the Lord. Yes, he did know of the hatred that Pakistanis have for the Jews, but he came to love the Jews and has been studying Hebrew. My friend risks his life to go to a church, and he went to one who had guards at the door, and the guard asked him questions, and when he told that he did have a Muslim father, they sent him away, but he still fights on at the risk of his life.
Were they Christians? If not, how can you be sure?
“Rabbi Gavriel, Rivka Holtzberg and the others murdered...I heard another Rabbi was killed....

Proselytizing on a thread like this? Low....
