PrintChabad toddler’s caretaker to arrive in Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA) -- The Indian caretaker who saved a 2-year-old Jewish boy from the Mumbai Chabad House siege is expected to arrive in Israel.
Sandra Samuel escaped with Moshe Holtzberg several hours into the siege, which began Nov. 26 and ended late Nov. 28. The terrorists killed Moshe's parents, Mumbai Chabad emissaries Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg. Their bodies are expected to be flown to Israel for a funeral Monday.
Samuel is scheduled to arrive the same day in Israel and be given special permission to enter the country by the Interior Ministry, the Jerusalem Post reported. The ministry is considering granting her the title of "righteous gentile," Army Radio reported, allowing her to remain in Israel for an extended period of time.
Though the toddler was reunited Nov. 28 with his paternal grandparents, who flew to India from New York City, for now he is responding only to Samuel, Ynet reported. His maternal grandparents traveled to India from Israel.

When are the civilized peoples and cultures of this world going to stop condemning islamic terrorism and start to eliminate it? How many people must die first? Is there a pre-programmed number or action that will propel the nations of the world that are not ISLAMIC to stamp out this cult of death? What are non-violent peoples awaiting? These islamic sects are deceiving the world by proclaiming peace and love all the while murdering in bits and pieces the truly peaceful of this world. The world has had to deal with evil since time began for us! We broke the evil organizations of the last 2 centuries and this is just one more to erase. NO! I am not a nihilist, I am just finishted with giving the death cult of isllam a pass.
