Chabad House is run by a New York-based orthodox Jewish organisation called Chabad Lubavitch.
With just two days left for the second anniversary of the November 26 terror attack, kin of rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, who was killed at Chabad House -- one of the terror-hit sites, today said they did not intend to take legal recourse over rebuilding rights of the Jewish Centre.
"We did not intend to take legal route, may be the lawyers thought this was the resort to solve the matter. There were some differences between the organisations and sometimes to sort them out one has to knock the door of court," rabbi Nachman, father of rabbi Gavriel, said.
Currently, Chabad House (also known as Nariman House), is in the possession of a receiver of the Bombay high court following a dispute between two factions of the Jewish community.
The dispute is between Gavriel's parents -- Nachman and Freida Holtzberg, and rabbi Yosef Kantor, over the rebuilding rights of the property.
The couple arrived here last night for the scheduled hearing tomorrow.
Chabad House is run by a New York-based orthodox Jewish organisation called Chabad Lubavitch. After the dastardly attacks, the Lubavitch movement named Kantor as its official, responsible for rebuilding and raising funds for the Jewish Centre.
The paternal grandparents of baby Moshe also clarified that there is no dispute and their desire is to rebuild the Chabad House as early as possible.
"We all are one...we are brothers. There is no fight. This is really painful that the matter is in court…in front of the public. We just want to rebuild the Chabad house at the earliest," Rabbi Nachman said.
A large notice announcing -- the property is now in the possession of the receiver of the Bombay high court, has been pasted at the front of the building. With this dispute the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had to disconnect the electricity and water supply to the building.
During the 45-hour terror siege at the Jewish Centre, two Pakistani terrorists killed six of its occupants, including rabbi and his five months pregnant wife, Rivka. Their son Moshe, who was then two-year-old, survived the attack after being rescued by Indian nanny, Sandra Samuel.
"We intend to bring back the lightness that Gabi and Rivki spread here," Nachman said.
Meanwhile, the grandparents in memory of rabbi Gavriel, his wife Rivka and other victims will light candles at the Chabad House tomorrow.
"The service will be conducted at 11 am tomorrow. It will be like an open house where people can come in and light candles," Rabbi Nachman said.
