The Chabad (Jewish learning centre) Centre at the Nariman House reopened today, nearly six years after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, in which six people were killed in the Nariman House building, including a Rabbi and his wife.

Addressing the gathering at the reopening today, Rabbi Moshe Kotralaraky said, "At the funeral, I promised that we will rebuild and we have not left Mumbai for one day. We have continued their work of spreading goodness and kindness and of spreading love."

"We were taught one candle in a room of darkness will light up the whole room; how much more so of the legacy of the light of Rabbi Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg. We mourn their loss, our feeling is with them and their parents and in-laws and little Moshe, the little orphan who was carried out of Nariman House by his nurse," he added.

Six years ago, Ajmal Kasab and nine of his aides unleashed terror on the country's financial capital, killing at least 166 people.

The attacks also led to the death of Rabbi Gavriel and his wife Rivkah while their toddler son Moshe was saved by his Indian nurse.

Kasab, the only attacker who was captured alive was hanged on 21 November, 2012 at 7:30 a.m. and buried at Yerwada Jail in Pune.
