(IsraelNN.com) The verse in the Torah that was shot up by Mumbai terrorists reads: "The Almighty spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron's two sons…." It is from Leviticus [VaYikra], Chapter 16, Verse 1.
The damaged Torah scroll was discovered when officials examined the Chabad House following the massacre of six Israelis by the Muslim terrorists who staged the mass slaughter at least 10 different places Wednesday night.
They saw bullet holes in the Holy Ark where the scroll was kept and then examined it to see if it had been damaged. The verse refers to Nadav and Avihu, the sons of the High Priest Aaron who died when they performed an offering that was not commanded by the Almighty.
The Torah states that the Almighty said, "I will be sanctified through those who are close to me," a statement that often is quoted following inexplicable deaths.
Among those murdered in the Chabad House were its rabbi, Gavriel Holtzberg, and his wife Rivka.
Their oldest son died at the age of three from a rare disease. Their youngest son, Moshe, was saved from murder when his nanny snatched him and fled the terror-infested building.
The Torah scroll arrived in Israel along with Rabbi and Rivka Holtzberg.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
I don’t want to be where those jihadists are now.
“The message from the funeral at Kfar Chabad on Tuesday was one of revenge - but not through violence. Rather, revenge that answers brutal, pointless Islamic terrorism with the light of loving-kindness.
Mourners pray over the bodies...
“I vow that we will avenge the deaths of Gabi and Rivki,” announced Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, vice chairman of Chabad’s educational arm, from New York, referring to Mumbai emissaries Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka.
“But not with AK-47s, not with grenades and tanks. We will take revenge in a different way,” Kotlarsky said.
“We will add light. We will add good deeds. We will make sure that there is not one Jewish man who does not put on tefillin. We will make sure that there is not one Jewish woman who does not light candles. “ - http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1227702405874&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
I pray for all of the victims, those at the Chabad an all of the Hindus/Americans/Europeans who perished. There is very little one can say. My whole being aches for all of those. Though the above speaks of being compassionate, these terrorists are no different than Satan himself to me at least.

May HaShem avenge this outrage!

Amen.
God seems to love doing things like that.
D.I.N.
I don’t know, at the moment I find myself preferring Deuteronomy 7:16.
Each day brings more evidence of how low these murderers sank. Just when I think they couldn’t get any lower, a report shows a new outrage. May the Lord remember this savagery and apply His Rightful Justice on the perpetrators!
Words can’t express my outrage. Holding my kids closer every night. Thanks, Alouette, for your strength, and your pings.
