The rabbi killed along with his wife and four others in the Mumbai Jewish centre was reading a book about how to deal with terrorists when he was murdered, it emerged today.
Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, 29, was found by his colleague, Rabbi Dov Goldberg, lying slumped on the ground of his living quarters wrapped in tefillin, a prayer aid containing the Hebrew scrolls.
On his bedside table were found copies of Jewish holy texts along with a book entitled: 'How to protect yourself when terrorists come to your house.'
The news emerged during an emotional funeral service in Kfar Chabad, just outside Tel Aviv, during which it was also revealed that Rabbi Holtzberg's wife Rivka, who was also killed, was five months pregnant when she died.
