Three more Chabad Houses to come up in city, says director of Chabad relief fund

To prove that their morale is not defeated yet, the Chabad Lubavitch community, owners of the 26/11-hit Nariman House, have decided to construct more Chabads in the city. "We have decided to build three more Chabads in different parts of the city, and that will be our message to terrorists -- that we won't bow to them," said Rabbi Avraham Berkowitz, director of Chabad relief fund, the society led by the community members determined to reconstruct Nariman House.

However, Avraham didn't disclose any locations,"We are in the process of restructuring the existing Chabad House, and have decided to raise $1.5 million (approx Rs 7 crore) for the same."

Since the massacre at Nariman House, no new Rabbi has taken over the charge. "We are expecting the new Rabbi to come in February with his wife. They will live in a rented accommodation till the Chabad gets its new look," added Avraham.

Queen Elizabeth II's first cousin, Prince Michael of Kent visited the Chabad last afternoon and pledged his support. "I pledge to support the community in every manner," said the Prince.
