      European Jews Stage Event in Memory of Holtzbergs


      The European Jewish Community Center (EJCC) in Brussels will hold a special ceremony Wednesday in memory of Rabbi Gabriel and Rivka Holtzberg, victims of the Mumbai massacre at a hotel and at the local Chabad House last year. Ran Curiel, Israeli Ambassador to the European Union, will attend the ceremony.

      The Holtzbergs were emissaries for Chabad in Mumbai and were among six people who were brutally murdered in the Chabad facility. In Mumbai, leaders of several faiths visited the refurbished five-story Chabad House Tuesday night and lit candles in memory of the victims.
