Tragedy Hits Holtzberg Again

Dov Ber Holtzberg, 4 year-old son of Rabbi Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg HY"D, passed away this morning in Israel. The Mumbai Shluchim's second child, he suffered from a fatal genetic illness and was already hospitalized when his parents were murdered at their Chabad House. His brother Mendy A"H passed away a year and a half ago. He is survived by his brother Moishie and grandparents. The Levaya took place this afternoon, leaving Shamgar funeral home in Jerusalem to Har Hazeisim. Photos, Audio

The Holtzberg and Rosenberg families have suffered unimagineable tradgedies and I think that at a time like this when they are burying yet another loved one that they should have been shown some privacy and respect. I was shocked to see these close up pictures of their grief . Even the goyishe media stop short of printing pictures at the graveside.

so sorry

Baruch Dayan Haemes…Now Dov Ber a”h will be with his loving parents & his other brother in shamayim safe & free from all evil & pain…Hashem should give strengh to the Holtzberg & Rosenberg families to get through these very trying times & help little Moshe grow up to be a great yid amongst klal yisroel….We need Moshiach now more than ever, may all these sorros within klal yisroel hasten his arrival so that we may all merit seeing the arrival of Moshiach now!

ENOUGH ALREADY!

ENOUGH ALREADY! IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY GOTTEN AN EMAIL TO SOME SORT OF HACHLATA CAMPAIGN, JUST DO IT YOURSELF! Do a mitzvah in the merit of the Holtzbergs, my friends relatives.
EVERY DEED

KEEP FOCUSED ON ACHDUS
December 30, 2008 4:15 pm

I AGREE, ACHDUS IS UP THERE ON TOP OF THE LIST OF THE REBBE’S MIVTZOIM, ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER IMPORTANT ONES LIKE TEFILLIN ETC…..IT’S NO DIFFERENT, SO SUPER IMPORTANT,.THERE’S NO CHOICE NOW, WE MUST UNITE, AND FOCUS ON WHAT UNITES US, NOT EXTERNALITIES.

I truly believe Dov Ber’s parents hy”d wanted to end his suffering and bring him ‘home’.

Minhag Yerushalayim is to bury as soon as possible, even if that means after dark. The levaya was 4 hours ago.

levayah

AHAVAS YISRAEL!
December 29, 2008 7:28 pm

MAYBE THIS WILL HELP ALL OF US TO GET THE MESSAGE-TO HAVE ACHDUS!!!!!!!!!!! Like the Frierdiker Rebbe said when asked why the holocaust happened? He answered (not the exact words) “WHEN YOU WANT TO GET A POINT YOU SLAP THE PERSON IN HIS FACE!” STOP WITH ALL THE SINAH! Mishichist, anti, tzfati-WHO CARES!!! They are all Jews! We have to learn that “Yisroel, af al pi SHELO CHATAH Yisroel huh” stop fighting! What happened to Lubavitche’s trade mark- ahavas yisroel? Please just stop!
WE WANT MOSHIACH NOW!!!!!!!!!
