Shimon and Yehudit Rosenberg, the parents of Rivka Holtzberg, arrived in the Indian city early Friday morning with a delegation of the Zaka organization.
Rabbi Yitzhak David Grossman told Ynet that the two were reunited with their two-year-old grandson, Moshe Tzvi [pictured above], who was rescued from the house by his Indian nanny the day before.
Moshe Tzvi was supposed to celebrate his second birthday today, but the family decided to postpone the celebration because of the difficult events.

Andre,
Unfortunately the parents were murdered, probably during the rescue attempt. See updated posts for more information.
Indeed, she is a hero and quite brave.
