The Nariman House, designated as a Chabad house (Hebrew: בית חב"ד, romanizedBeit Chabad),[1][2] is a five-storey landmark in the Colaba area of South Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.[3] The building was home to a Chabad house, a Hasidic Jewish outreach centre run by Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg, who had owned the building since around 2006. The centre had an educational center, a synagogue, offered drug prevention services,[4][5][6][7] and a hostel.[8][9] The building was one of the sites of the November 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks and six of its occupants, including Holtzberg and his wife, who was six months pregnant, were killed. Their two-year-old son Moshe survived the attack after being rescued by his Indian nanny, Sandra Samuel.
