It seems that there were quite a few of the Indian staff who risked their lives, and even took bullets, for the guests of the hotel. Is anything being done to at least cover some of the hospital bills of these folks, who went above and beyond any reasonable definition of responsibility to their guests? and to help their families?

What is also painfully clear is that the terrorists who stormed the Chabad center demonstrated the same callousness as they did elsewhere in Mumbai, with the result that a two year old child has been orphaned.

Other sources(NDTV) says that the terrorist told the nanny to get the child and then told her to leave the building with the child. There seems to be some inconsistency with this story.

I have prayed so many times in the last few days for both the Rabbi and his wife. I sincerely hope they are at peace knowing that their beautiful son is alive and being cared for by a friend willing to risk her life for Moishe. We should all have such angels in our lives!

I am crying as I am writing. It has been a very tough week of my life after 9/11. What a courageous lady. God bless this child and lady who saved this child under guns.
