MUMBAI, 16 January 2018. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on his six-day visit to India at this time. Netanyahu will go to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra today. He will also visit Mumbai on his tour. Traveling in Mumbai is also special because Moses will also be involved in the kidnapping of his parents in the Mumbai terror attack. Moshe arrived in Mumbai on Tuesday morning, during which Israeli officials welcomed him. After reaching Mumbai, the maternal grandfather of Moshe said that Moses is very happy to come back here, and Mumbai is now a safer place than ever.
Modi had also met Moshe
During his Israeli visit last year, PM Modi met a child Moses at that time and invited him to come to India. Moses has come to India this time and will be present on January 17 with the Israeli PM in Mumbai. On January 18, only with PM Modi, PM Netanyahu, Moses will also visit Chabad House.
When Moshe was only two years old
In 2008, Moshe Holztzburg aged 2 years (the age of the time) in the Mumbai attack survived, while his parents had died in this attack. Moses Holztzburg, who lost his parents in the terrorist attack, will reach Nariman House in the city for the first time this year after nine years.
Moshe had No wounds on the body
In 2008, when terrorist attacks took place in Mumbai, Moshe’s father Rabbi Gavriel and mother Rivka were present at the Jewish Center in Nariman House of Mumbai. Both were killed in this attack. At that time Moshe’s mother was 6 months pregnant. At that time, Moshe was 2 years old and was crying near the bodies of his parents. There was no wound on Moshe’s body.
That is when Sandra Samuel, the mother of Indian origin, saw Moshe and saved him by putting her life on the stake. Now Moshe lives with his grandfather in Israel. Moshe goes to school like a normal child and plays with friends. Moshe’s grandpa says that he is not a grandson, but like a son. They say that we are keeping Moshe in the same way and are taking care of him as his parents did.
Sandra Samuel is working these days in the disabled children’s rehabilitation center in Jerusalem, but she visits Moshe every week. To save Moshe’ life, Sandra was honored by the Israeli government for the ‘Righteous Gentile’ award, which is the highest award given to non-Jews.
