Harinder Mishra Jerusalem, Dec 2 (PTI) Thousands of wailing Israeli mourners today bid an emotional farewell to the six slain Jews, including the parents of the two-year-old Moshe, who was orphaned in the Nariman House terror attack in Mumbai last week. "Moshe, you don't have a father and a mother to hold you in their arms.

No parents to hug and kiss you," Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, an official from the Chabad-Lubavitch movement's headquarters in New York, said in a moving funeral eulogy that brought tears rolling down the eyes of the assembled mourners who made a sea of black coats and hats. "You are the child of all Israel," Kotlarsky said adding the community would take care of the boy, whose parents -- Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, 29, and his wife Rivka, 28 -- were among those killed when terrorists stormed the Nariman House.

President Shimon Peres, Defence Minister Ehud Barak and opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu joined about 10,000 people who crowded outside the sect's headquarters in Kfar Chabad near Tel Aviv. Indian Ambassador Navtej Sarna was also present to share the grief.

Holtzberg and Rivka used to run a centre for the ultra-orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch movement in the Nariman House. An Israel Air Force plane brought their bodies here last night, along with the couple's son Moshe and his Indian nanny Sandra Samuel.

In an extraordinary gesture, the Israeli government is considering conferring the top national honour "Righteous Gentile" to Sandra for rescuing the child. The honour, usually reserved for saviours of Jews from Holocaust, may facilitate her stay in Israel as a resident after she was given a last-minute visa to travel here.
