in Israel are ensconced in prayer at their house in the northern town of Afula.
Rivka, 28, and her husband, Gabriel Holtzberg, 30, a Chabad emissary in Mumbai, are among a number of Israelis being held hostage by armed terrorists who have stormed into the Nariman House, a building owned by the religious Jews' 'Chabad' movement, the Israeli radio reported.
<b>The family has received reports indicating that the terrorists have released their two-year-old son Moshe Tzvi and their caretaker, Rivka's father Rabbi Shimon Rosenberg told the Radio. </b>
"We speak with them every day and [yesterday] morning was no different. Everything was alright. In the evening, I gave a lesson in Kabbala and just after 9 pm I got a call telling us to listen to news of terrorists attacking in Mumbai. We tried to get in touch but all the systems went down and later we heard that the terrorists stormed the building and they were being held hostage," the Rabbi said. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
