From Elishevah in South Carolina,
Even though I didn't know them I am grieved beyond words at such a crime and send prayers of comfort to the families of Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg. May the work they started continue on and goodness rise above the evil that tried to stop Torah from going forth in that part of the world. Surely the hand of G-d is upon the child to save him in such an awesome way.
From Leah Kam
This has been a great loss for the whole Klal Yisroel. The two wonderful neshamas who prepared Shabbos for the lost and far Jews were sitting on Hashem's Shabbos table on parsha Toldot and Hashem was enjoying their presence. It is us who are missing their awesome contribution to the world Jewry.
May Hashem brings us the redemption and the end of this evil since it is even harder now to tolerate this galus after losing Gavriel and Rivka.
From Yitzchak ben
Dear people, you are a light unto the nations. Shalom Aleichem brothers and sisters. My only encounter with Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg has been this tragedy. I love the Jewish people so much that when something like this happens, I'm deeply saddened by it and share in the burden of it. I would take baby Moshe into my house and love him and raise him.
All I know to say to the families is, I hurt for you, I hurt with you, and I only want to be nearer to you now. I want to say this, in your mourning, may he bare your grief for you, and lift up your spirit, and fill it with his breath of comfort. Heartfelt sympathy and compassion coming from a mid-aged Oklahoma Israeli brother.
From Camilo Molina Estrada,
I didn’t know whom they were, I never had the pleasure to meet them, but I want to express my feelings to the family and to all Israelis from here, from Colombia, South America.
