Nariman House in Mumbai, India, reopened Tuesday, six years after Pakistani militants killed six
people there. George Rohr, who helped pay for the reopening, held a Torah at the ceremony.

INDIA---With a cantor singing a benediction, more than two dozen black-hatted rabbis from around the world arrived here on Tuesday to reopen a Jewish center attacked and gutted during a 2008 killing rampage by Pakistani gunmen. The seven-story center will include a $2.5 million museum, yet to be completed, that will be the first in Mumbai to memorialize all of those killed in the attacks. One of the center’s floors will be left raw, with pockmarks and blast holes behind glass barriers to remind visitors of the devastation. [link]
