The families of Gavriel and Rivka Holzberg have asked Indian and Israeli authorities to expedite the return of their bodies to Israel so their funeral can be held.  Gavriel and Rivka were killed in the Mumbai terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 174 people including at least 6 Israelis. 

Rabbi David Grusman, Rivka Holzerg's Uncle spoke to Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.  He said, "Our family requests that you do not wait.  The plane should return with the bodies of the martyrs immediately."  Rivka's parents, Shimon and Yehudit are currently in India.  They explained, "We Jews believe that it is forbidden to delay a funeral.  We ask that they be brought to burial in Israel immediately."
