Mumbai: Over a year after the 26/11 attacks, Jew residents have regrouped to start a Chabad House on a temporary basis in the metropolis after the Narmiman House was destroyed in the Mumbai terror strikes.

"A temporary Chabad House is currently operational in the city. A new Rabbi and his wife will soon arrive for the same," Rabbi Avraham Berkowitz, Director of the Chabad Mumbai Relief Fund, said here.

"The Jewish priest, who is expected to arrive in a few months, will continue offering the services to the people of our community."

Nariman House also known as Chabad House, is a testimony to the bloodshed by two terrorists - Babar Imran and Nasir, who laid a two-day terror siege and slaughtered four Jews including baby Moshe's parents.

Nariman House, a Jewish outreach center run by Chabad-Lubavitch Movement having an educational center and a synagogue, offered drug prevention services and stayed to the people of their faith.

"There are many students and volunteers here who have been actively helping in maintaining and rebuilding the Chabad House since the last few months. We have rented a place in the city where the operations are going on," Berkowitz said.
