Dear Friends,

At this moment my colleague Rabbi Gabi Holtzberg and his wife, the
Chabad Shluchim/emissaries in Mumbai, together with other Israeli
nationals are hostages in the local Chabad Center (referred to on the
news as Nariman House) amidst the horrific terrorist attacks on the
city.

While everything must be done - and IS being done - by the security
forces to rescue the hostages, we know that it is within the hands of
each of us to storm the Heavens and pray to G-d that this situation
and all other terrible current circumstances in Mumbai are resolved
peacefully immediately.

Join tens of thousands around the world and PLEASE say a prayer for
Gavriel Noach Ben Freida Bluma and Rivkah bas Yehudis and the other
hostages held up at the other locations affected by this horror.
Psalm 20 is suggested: www.BachYouth.com/6320.

Don't stop with a prayer; please take it one step further and
remember that a small act of "light" in one part of the world can
dispel darkness wherever it may be. Do a mitzvah:

1. Give charity in their merit

2. Men: Put on Tefillin today; if you already did, see to it that
someone who hasn't yet, should.

3. Women: Resolve to light candles tomorrow evening; if you already
do, see to it that someone who hasn't yet, should. Your firm
resolution to do this mitzvah will have an immediate impact now!

May G-d bring peace to our pained and darkened world!

With hope and prayers for good news.
