“Your story continues to inspire everyone. It is one of miracle and hope overcoming tragedy and immeasurable loss,” he added.
He further wrote, “The perpetrators of the cowardly terrorist attack on November 26, 2008, in Mumbai clearly failed. They could not subdue our vibrant diversity. Nor could they dampen our spirit to march forward. Today, India and Israel stand together even more determined against terrorism and hatred.”
In 2017, during his visit to Israel, PM Modi had met Moshe. Recalling the meet, he said, “I warmly remember meeting you in Jerusalem, along with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I hope that your wish to return some day to Chabad House in Mumbai as its Director comes true.”
