Happy Birthday Moshe..

For a two year old, the one gift that he surely didn't want was the news of his parents' death. And blame it on fate if you must, that is exactly what he got!!

The Mumbai massacre (no less) has many unforgettable images, which the media is shamelessly pasting around as the 'faces of tragedy'. But for me, what has stood out more than any other is the image of an inconsolable Moshe Holtzberg, crying aloud for his parents' touch as he turns 2 on November 27.

Absolutely heartbreaking. The sight renders you feeling numb, weak and helpless.
