Moshe Holtzberg, the baby who survived the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attack, arrived in India with his grandfather Holtzberg Nachman.

“Shalom…bahut khushi (I’m very happy),” said a shy Moshe, who arrived at the Mumbai airport shortly after 8 am.

He will be meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while the latter is on his six-day visit to the country. Moshe will be in attendance at Chabad House on 18 January when Netanyahu opens a memorial for his parents and the other 164 victims of the terrorist attack.

Moshe lost his parents, Rivka and Gavriel Holtzberg, when Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists attacked Chabad House located in Mumbai’s Colaba area.

The boy, who is now 11, was rescued by his Indian nanny Sandra Samuel.

Samuel, who was granted honorary Israeli citizenship for her bravery, is accompanying Moshe to India.

This is the first time since the attack that Moshe has come to India.

“I feel very happy to come to India, to Nariman House where I am going to pray. I will say hi to the people of India. I feel very good in this country,” Rosenberg said.

Holtzberg Nachman said that Mumbai is a lot safer now.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had met Moshe on the former’s visit to Israel in July 2017. When Moshe expressed his desire to visit India, Modi immediately told him that he can visit anytime.
