The Holtzberg and Rosenberg families have asked COLlive to remind the community that today, the 15th of Av 5769 is the 29th birthday of Mrs. Rivky Holtzberg OBM, the revered Chabad Shlucha from Mumbai, India.
Born in northern Israel as Rivky Rosenberg, she touched many lives with her warm smile and vivacious personality. Countless more were touched when she and her husband Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg OBM opened the Chabad Center in Mumbai, located in the Nariman House.
On November 26, 2008, Rivky and Gabi’s tireless work and selfless lives came to an abrupt end when terrorists seized the Chabad House, murdered the couple and four of their guests.
“We would like to request that everyone say Rivky’s kapital – Kapital Lamed (30) – in honor of her birthday today,” Gabi’s sister asked COLlive.
Rivky’s memory has been kept alive throughout the world as Shluchim and Anash have founded countless projects and institutions in her name, and over 50 parents have named their children Rivka in her memory.
RIVKY MAY HASHEM HEAR YOU CRIES AND BRING MOSHIACH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! amen
I DONT FORGET HER FOR A SECOND. SHE IS IN MY HEAD ,MY HEART,AND MY ACTIONS GIVING ME ETERNAL STRENGTH AND COURAGE .

“On November 26, 2008, Rivky and Gabi’s tireless work and selfless lives came to an abrupt end…”
Their work did not end. It continues until today.

Gabi and Rivky, please daven for all of us and we will daven too!
We must never forget you!
No doubt that Rivky, is right next to the Kisei HaKavod. Let us all say the kapitel. I just did with tears in my eyes.
After Mumbai, Moshiach it’s time!

Zecher Tzadik Livrocho.
We must forever remember these Tzadikim who were Mekadesh Hashem in their life and continue to be Mekadesh Hashem in their tragic death.
In every sense of Halocho, Agodo & Chasiduss they are true Tzadikim in the full sense of the word. By remembering them we will merit the fulfillment of all the Rebbe’s Brochos, including and most importantly the revelation of Moshiach NOW!
all neshei chabad:
WE WILL BRING THE GEULA! WE WILL GET OUR SISTER BACK!
all it takes is one more mitzva
