Inside the renovated Chabad Centre.
It took six years for the wounds to heal, but Chabad Centre in Mumbai's Nariman House, home to the ultra-orthodox Jewish movement Chabad-Lubavitch, finally opened today.
In November 2008, the building became one of the targets of the team of terrorists from Pakistan who held Mumbai to ransom for four days.
Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, his pregnant wife Rivky and four others were killed in the attack. Their two-year old son Moshe was saved by his Indian nanny, Sandra Samuel. Now both of them are in Israel.
After the horrific tragedy, the Chabad-Lubavitch group continued its activities from various temporary locations around Mumbai.
But now, the six-storey building in south Mumbai's Colaba, which had been reduced to a pockmarked shell, has been fully renovated.
In memory of the tragedy, a museum is to be set up on the fourth and fifth floors at a cost of $ 2.5 million.
The Chabad-Lubavitch of Mumbai is one of the nerve centres of Jews in India. Considered one of the largest and fastest growing Jewish organisations, the Chabad-Lubavitch network operates around 3,500 institutions across 80 countries.
