Rabbi Kotlarsky's email asking for Tehillim:
B"H
For the past few hours we have been unable to reach Rabbi and Mrs. Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg, the Shluchim to Mumbai, India, where terrorists attacks have occurred.
The reports we are hearing from there could be better.
It is a time for Tefillah. Please say Tehillim for:
* Gavriel Noach ben Freida Bluma
* Rivkah bas Yehudis
* Moshe Tzvi Ben Rivkah.
All those who can go to the Rebbe's Ohel and ask for rachamei shamayim are requested to do so.
We hope and pray that we will hear good news very soon.
Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky
