I got to know "Gavi and Rivki" over the last 36 hours by reading the New York Times. I awoke today, in Hawaii, and checked the Times, and learned what happened to them and to you, the Jewish community and particularly BROOKLYN. I am writing because I wanted some kind of forum to express my feelings: I'm not Jewish but since I am from New York and have worked with many wonderful Jewish people, I want to express my strong feelings of - wanting to let the community in Brooklyn, and the parents, friends and relatives know that someone (many people actually I am sure) cares a LOT about you now. I am sure Rivki and Gavi are fine and it is a miracle about the survival of their son. I hope to write to the New York Times to ask them to do follow up stories on the nurse/cook, and the son Moshe. The story of Rivki and Gavi it seems could be made into a movie. This entire thing reminded me of Daniel Pearl. I am sorry to bring that up but it is the truth. With aloha. Nandarani
