President, Chabad Leaders to Hold Memorial Meeting
President Shimon Peres will be holding a special meeting at the Presidential Residence on Tuesday evening in memory of the six victims of the Mumbai Massacre who fell in Nariman House, which housed the city's Chabad headquarters. He will be joined by the heads of Chabad in Israel and abroad.
The meeting was the result of a request from Chabad-Lubavitch leaders to meet with President Peres in the wake of the terrorist attack on the Mumbai Chabad House. The rabbis and the President will be putting forth a joint message of encouragement for Chabad rabbis and emissaries worldwide.
